Live your life today

This is my first ever journal. This is a bit scary and I don’t know if I will continue with this. We’ll see.
Here we go.
Today has been a bit of a weird day in the sense of reflecting on life.
Yesterday when I was out riding my Bonneville something extremely scary happened. It was just a normal day on my bike. I was out riding my bike in the Malaga countryside, enjoying the corners of the roads in the mountains.
I came in to a corner turning left just like all the other thounds of times before when this car , a red MG, came towards me but it wouldn’t turn. It kept heading towards me going extremely fast. It wasn’t that he was just crossing over a little bit on my side of the road. It was coming straight at me not turning. It all happened in a millisecond and I reflectively turned right to the edge of the road prepared to go down the ditch and crash. In that millisecond it seemed like the better option than crashing with a car head on. Funny how you have time to think and make split decisions.
But in the last moment the driver of the car realized or saw what was about to happen and I saw and heard the tires turning and screeching on the asphalt and he managed to turn in the last moment. I had almost stopped my bike and I could see in the mirror that he had stopped in the middle of the road. I’m guessing the driver wanted to apologize or just talk but I was in shock and just continued. The shock for me came first after a couple minutes. I realized that I had escaped a very dangerous situation and possibly death.
The rest of the ride home was not fun and I was scared that a car would come at me in every corner.

I felt like I had to get back out there again so today I went for a ride on my Bonneville and everything felt just like always. I was very happy.

This was the closest I have ever been to an accident. If the driver hadn’t looked up or whatever he was doing I could have been dead now. It had me thinking. We live now! Not yesterday, maybe not tomorrow. So enjoy every moment and don’t take tomorrow for granted. There might not be a tomorrow.

So from now on I want to live life fully. There is only one life (that we know of) so make the most of it.
