RE: WTF: Lone Survivor

in Reflections2 months ago

When I read about the crash, I couldn't think much than to say it's definitely a miracle for him to have survived all alone. It’s hard to imagine what the lone survivor must be going through a tragic event while so many others, including his own brother, didn’t make it.

That kind of experience can literally change a person forever. Talking about his perspective, the way he sees the world, and the happening around him, I can say that the trauma will take time for him to cope. I honestly don’t know how I would cope in his shoes. The guilt, the questions, the memories, it’s a lot for one mind to carry. Maybe God has a plan for his life cos it is unbelievable to see him walk through the crash alive without sustaining many injuries.

If I ever got a second chance like that, I think I would try to live more intentionally. I would spend more time with the people I love, take fewer things for granted, and try to make a difference in any little way I can. Life can be so unpredictable, and stories like this remind me that every single day really is a gift.

Trauma impacts us all differently and it is hard to compare one against the other, but this is pretty extreme for anyone. Make s the people who have trauma because their parents didn't buy them the lates t shoes, seem quite silly.

And today is a day you can do this. As is tomorrow. We should all do this, right? :)
