Kick Off Your Shoes and Stay A While! - Mas - Mas

I was reading one of my new favorite blogs this morning called Poppy Cede and she is recounting what happened to her last night. Here it is in part:

I was driving to my pharmacy to pick up my prescription (went without a hitch, not the point of the story) and saw a man curled up in the road and a teal car about 2 feet from him. I am filling in the blanks that the teal car hit the man, although I don't know that. When I came to the scene that I did not witness there were no emergency responders there yet. Traffic was starting to back up in the lane where the teal car and man on the ground were. Nothing for me to do except move along little lady since I didn't witness it so I went to McDonald's for a Coke then CVS for my prescription.

She received a few comments asking about the guy, did she stop? What if help wasn't on the way, etc etc.

For some reason, it triggered an old memory. See, it reminded me of my "dark days" when my life sucked and I was all gloomy and depressed all the time and I was making bad choices and then whining about the consequences.

Not that she is in a similar situation but it's a funny thing what happens when you read other peoples blogs, or poetry, or whatever. You read. You interpret. You conjur up old memories that are similar or you think are similar or you find ways to relate to it. So anyways, this is what it reminded me of and so I posted this:

Sometimes it's best to just move along. Other times it's a good idea to stop. Only you know when that time is, depending on the circumstances.

As a side note, it's moments like that which sometimes make you appreciate your own chaotic life and make you realize that no matter how shitty your own situation might be at the time, life goes on. So get your head out of your booty and keep on moving. LOL

Not that I think YOU have a shitty life, I'm just sayin' in general. I remember during a really BAD part of my life when I had my head up my own booty thinking the world owed me a better life and wah wah wah this and boohoo hoo that, I drove by an accident that had just happened. I looked over and there was this pregnant lady in the drivers seat of a van and she was screaming. The way I was in traffic I couldn't stop (far right lane… accident was on the far left lane)

Anyways, I remember thinking, I just witnessed something tragic. This ladies life as she knows it has ended. (a car accident like that changes you forever) And yet, I still have to go to work. No fair.
