Well, I promised myself that I would blog events, so here goes.
Today, I got into my first real accident.
I thought it was my fault at first, but it there were faults at both ends of the party.
My first reaction was something like "Crap."
Then came anger, not really directed at anybody or anything.
And then came disappointment; THAT was directed at myself.
You see, I got a speeding ticket a few months ago. Then about three days ago, I got a PARKING ticket. And now, I get into an accident. My dad wasn't angry at me; he didn't get upset. He was merely glad that nobody was hurt and that it was a church member that hit me. (If it was anyone else, they might have called the cops, charges might be pressed, lawyers called, insurance, etc. Things would've been messy).
But through all of this, I only thought of one thing. That I was a burden. A big, major, and completely unnecessary burden to my dad, who was going through tough financial times in his business, not to mention working enough to cover my mom's duties who is currently in Korea for a month. I've already agreed to pay for the tickets and the repair, but I just felt terrible that I was causing such trouble to my dad. Don't worry Dad, I'll make it up to you, somehow.
Overall, the experience wasn't that bad. A lot of my church friends saw it happen, and to be frank, I wasn't embarrassed; more so, I felt a little vulnerable. But the accident wasn't that great of a deal.
And really, through some of these experiences, I've come to realize some of the great friends I have. Hahaha. I'm truly loved.
