Do it with gusto

in gusto •  6 years ago 

Life is a gift that keeps on giving until it takes it all away and you find yourself stuck at ground zero or worst.
I decided to Live and love life sometime in July 2017. I had just survived a freakish car accident that claimed the lives of five other passengers in a vehicle making a commute within Plateau State, Nigeria. It was a really scary even for me and I was really shaken; I couldn't go outside and being in moving vehicles made me very nervous. I had cuts all over my body and a few fractured ribs but the real pain came from deep within. It Came from the "new found fear" of everything. It really sucked.

While wincing in pain, I talked to myself, I heard myself say to myself that I have to live, that being alive isn't the same thing as living and I have never looked back since that day. I'm not going to pretend like I don't have these fears, they come and go but I'll always live through them, living life in the best way I can with grit and gusto about me.

I like this one @belemo. Surviving a deadly car wreck like that is a lot to carry—I carry similar weight. God bless you dude.

Thanx Dan. God bless you too
