Hey Everyone!
I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. I wanted to tell you guys something that I didn’t mention in my Bahamas vacation post. If any of you have been somewhere like the Bahamas, you know that the cars are very close together (bumper to bumper).
On my way back from the Atlantis, there was a tour bus behind us that ran into the bus I was on. We weren’t moving, and there wasn’t anyone in front of us, which was better because I think if someone were in front of us, the impact would have been greater.
Anyway, once that bus ran into us, I started freaking out a little. I tried to distract myself by looking out the window and fidgeting with my fingers. I did something like that when my accident occurred a couple of years ago, but instead, I scratched my pants up and down. I tried holding it together, but eventually, all I wanted was to get out of the car. I started crying, but I didn’t want the others to see. As soon as the car stopped, I got out to meet my family, and that’s when I had a complete meltdown. It wasn’t pretty. My parents saw me and ended up meeting me halfway, and they had to calm me down, which took some time. It felt like the accident was happening all over again.
Honestly, I never knew what would happen if another car ran into me again. But now I do, and like before, it was traumatic for me because that accident in the Bahamas brought back memories and flashbacks of the car accident that I had before. When the bus driver asked if everyone was okay, I said I was fine, even though I wasn’t. Although, I did tell him that this had happened before, and it was very traumatic for me.
It annoys me so much that everyone drives bumper to bumper in the Bahamas. I wish people didn’t drive stupidly. I have no idea what would have happened if things were different, but I’m glad it wasn’t worse. I would not be able to deal with that.
Ps. At least it’s Christmas season!
