Broken People [114]
Based on the comments on my last post and what I know about the people, it would seem that the people who are truly broken agree with me and what I said. People who have never been truly broken say that we can fix ourselves with hard work.
Could you please let me know if my assessment is correct?
There were some people that said the broken people can find a sense of peace in our broken world, which I agree with.
In other news, I had a heart attack today.
I was on a road where the speed limit was 50, and I was actually going 50. I was in the right lane, and someone pulled out in front of me, literally! On a road that could very well be icy!! I stomped on my breaks, because, really, what else can you do?? I couldn’t swerve, because there was no where to swerve to (the left lane had a huge dump truck in it). I was so terrified that my car would hit an ice patch and slide right into her back end. My heart was beating too fast for at least 20 minutes after it happened, and I was shaky. That was also the first time I ever laid on the horn while driving. If I would have hit her going 50, that would have been a VERY bad accident. I would be in the hospital, probably. Thankfully, I did not hit a patch of ice, and I am safe.
What kind of a person does that?! I’m still freaking out just THINKING about it =[

I don’t think anyone really has the complete ability to heal themselves.
Accidents are scary and people are kinda dense. Glad you ended up ok. :0)
whoa! i’m glad you’re okay! that gave me chills.
First of all, fuck bad drivers. Especially when they’re out driving around people in bad(ish) weather.Glad nothing happened, car accidents are scary.
But in regards to your other post about broken people, I’ve been “broken” I guess you could say, but I don’t let it get to me. Granted, I am more cautious with things but I don’t let it take over my life. I’ve recognized things that I’ve been doing, holding onto the past, letting it take over my judgment and such, and it took some time, but I’ve stopped letting it control me like that.
I’m not saying I’m “fixed” I don’t think anyone is really fixed, broken by something or not, until they’re completely happy with themselves and how they live.
people are idiots, I’m glad you are safe. I still can’t believe people drive like that in places that have lots of snow and ice.
@godfatherofgreenbay - Thanks love. I’m glad I’m okay too!
It’s pretty common on the road where I live actually. It’s good that nothing bad happened though.
i think hard work is a part of fixing yourself, but that’s not all it takes. i can’t just commit myself and say “i will be healed in a week” and have it happen. it’s confusing. you can’t just sit back and let it happen.. but there’s the natural element of time that helps you heal too.. if that makes sense?
& omg that’s SO scary! things like that make me scared to drive.. i’m glad you’re alright, though!
I don’t agree with your assessment. There are parts of my past that I won’t look back on, because I know it’s not healthy.
It feels like you’re saying that only the hopeless have been truly broken, like everyone who has any hope can’t possibly be as broken as everyone else. I might have thought this once, but I’m at the other end of the tunnel now. There IS light. Don’t deceive yourself otherwise.
The car thing sound terrifying. Glad you’re okay.
i am glad you’re fine. some people shouldn’t be given a license to drive any vehicle
The end justify the means, i am glad the end result is your safety:)
some people are just plain stupid and careless of others. I’m glad your ok. the constant pace of your hear even afterwards cold have been from shock. you need sugar in your body to help come down. i hope your ok.
A stupid person does that. It’s one thing to be a bad driver but when it’s winter in MINNESOTA…..that’s just being reckless with your life and other peoples lives.
What a dumbass – could have hurt you and killed herself in the process!
Drunks and people who are oblivious to the world around them do things like that. I’ve been broken stomped and crushed many times in my life and I don’t believe complete healing is possible this side of heaven. I do make choices that can bring me more peace in my day to day life, but even when the open wounds are healed the scars, though faded, will always be there.
There’s just some things people will never understand unless they’ve been there.
I’m so glad you’re okay! Some people really shouldn’t be allowed to drive.
time is medicine… you have tell yourself that you’ll be okay in order to be okay. if you keep telling yourself that you’re broken, you’ll stay that way. I’ve been broken so I can tell you that you can fix yourself… it might just take some time.
I really thought you had an actual heart attack! I think follow up driving tests should be given every once in a while… so society can rest assured that the 80yr old in the fast lane won’t end up on the 9:00 news… btw in a car, it’s “brakes.” sorry, I couldn’t help myself
Dear one I am really thankful that you are safe, and I believe God has his eyes on you, do you believe this? Send me a reply.
