My life really went downhill last year.
It is amazing how you can lose everything in the blink of an eye.
I suggest you take the time to really look around and be grateful for everything you have in your life. No, your life is not perfect, but I guarantee that someone out there would love to live the life you’re currently living. Like most people, I didn’t realize how great I actually had it, until it was gone. I lived in a wonderful home with my wife and daughter, and had a great job, until I got into a bad car accident. I was in a coma for days, but I came out of it. Instead of being there to support me, I guess the stress was too much for my wife, and she ran into another’s arms. We divorced, and now I only see my daughter a few times a month. The medical bills were too much for me to handle, and I couldn’t even afford to rent an apartment. I had to rent a tiny room the size of the closet, but it was cheap, and I could make do. I could choose to be bitter, angry and cynical. I could choose to be jaded, depressed and miserable, but I don’t. I look at every day as a second chance at life, and only look at things through a positive lens. No, my life is not perfect right now, but I am lucky to be living it, and still get a chance to be in my daughter’s life. I thank God for my life every day. I got a job as a heating and cooling specialist, and being a HVAC worker is enough to pay for my bills. Slowly, my income from being a HVAC professional is helping me save towards a brighter future.
