There is Always a Silver Lining
When a tragedy strikes, people always try and comfort
you by telling you there is always a silver lining
as something good will always come out of it and
that everything will be okay. We never feel this
way until after what they say become a fact. Well
for me, the silver lining has been revealed.
I was twenty-one (now twenty-two) years old and
a party girl going nowhere in life. I drank litres
of vodka every night. I lived for the next drink,
party and bar. Tragedy struck me on 18th May 2009.
I was driving on my way to work and ended up crashing
into a rear of a utility van that had stopped and
was turning left into the highway. I was travelling
at about sixty miles per hour and did not even try
to stop. I also had no seat belts on. (I do not
remember about the accident at all and I was told
about these details after the accident.)

I was rushed to the hospital. I had broken my left
ankle in three places, severed the tendons under
both knee caps, broken my right hip socket completely
off, cracked eight ribs and had a major cut on my
forehead. I was in the intensive care unit for four
days and in a regular room for five more days. I
was told I would be in a wheelchair for three months
and would need a walker to help me walk. It would
take me a year to recover. During this time, it
seemed as if my life was only going to change for
the worse.
What I didn't realize was that my life was in fact
about to change but for the better. I am a gamer
and have been a part of a gaming website for a little
over a year. A fellow gamer friend contacted me
to check out on me. He was very concerned and that
made me very happy. He sent me a care package which
consists of gaming items when I got home from the
hospital. He held game nights for my favorite games.
We started to talk more often. I mean we had known
each another for a long time but we had never thought
that we would become a couple. Yet, we did. We talked
on the phone for eight to twelve hours a day for
three months. Once I was out of my wheelchair, I
flew to see him. He has been my saving grace. I
am no longer on the path to destruction and alcoholism.
I am the happiest I have ever been even after my
tragic accident. He has been here for me through
everything. He has helped me triumph over my pain,
stress and injuries.

You never know what a horrible incident can bring
you. Just know that no matter how bad a situation
may seem, there is a reason it happened and you
should always keep your head held high no matter
how bad the situation seems to be. You never know
when the silver lining will be revealed.
