I just had a serious brush with death

Okay, it might not have been death, but it was definitely serious. Actually, all I can think of it as is an experience to make you grow up. I used to be a bit more mindful in the choices that I make and from now on that will have to be the case. I cannot accept the stupid choices I make or brush them off as errors in judgment anymore. I will have to be more responsible and consider what is always at stake.
