A 26-year old died on his way home from work. They aren't for sure how exactly it had happened, but the family is able to draw two conclusions, either he feel asleep at the wheel or someone had road rage and pushed him off the road. He wasn't wearing his seatbelt and the car hit a tree then jumped up back onto the road. The air bags kept him in the car, or he would have been ejected.
He is my best friends brother. He was friendly, kind, loving, sweet, a wonderful son, and was soon to be engaged. It is so tragic.
We all learn in drivers education to not drive while you are tired, to always wear your seat belts, to not drive if your emotional, or while drunk. Most of us probably have done at least 2of the 4. You may have had a long day at school or work and have driven home. Coming home from a party or taking a long trip can make you tired. When I have had a bad fight, just need to get out of the house because I can't be in the situation, I take a drive. It calms me down and I love hearing my favorite song screaming out of the speakers. When you hear a sad song, or a song that just hits that spot, you shouldn't drive. And I have taken my seat belt off because I have dropped something and tried to reach it, not while driving of course, I'm not that talented.
All of those situations, you aren't suppose to drive. Your supposed to pull over until you're fully able to be functional. But I know I haven't.
Life is just too short. Before you know it you will be thinking back and saying, I wish I would have... Next time you want to do something, do it. Next time you want it, get it. Next time you have an opportunity you might not get again, take it. No matter what the situation, take it. You never know what will happen, you can't get back yesterday, and you might not get tomorrow, all you have is today.
