S**t happens

The riding was great while it lasted. I thought something like this would never happen to me. When I look back on how my life was going, it was going pretty well. This motorcycle accident is going to stick around in the back of my head for the rest of my life. Even though I try not to think about it, its always something that reminds me of the accident. I've tried to keep my mind on other things. Having the motorcycle accident has effected other things in my life. Like my love life, social life etc. Hey, s**t happens,but I have to look on the bright side of things, I'm back in school,I'm doing everything myself except driving. Once I started getting back to myself. My parents and other people have started giving me more freedom. I did not value the small things until after my accident.

My Life After The Accident

My uncle Alfred, use to ride motorcycles, but he does not ride anymore. I believe he doesn't ride anymore because he did not want to have an accident. There are a couple of people in my family that ride motorcycles. Most of them have had an accident. All the motorcycle accidents in the world, about 87% don't survive. But I'm Blessed to be alive. You have to be careful, and be aware of whats going on around you at all times. Some of the guys I use to ride with, didn't come see me when I was in the hospital. Some people I thought that were my friends are not and it really hurt me at that time. On the other hand I have some great friend that were there for me. Even the ones who were out of town going to school called, and kept calling leaving messages. That showed me who really cared.

My Feelings

I know some people may think I shouldn't even be thinking about getting another motorcycle. Im not getting another one, but I want to. Im not trying to go through this again, Im not, point blank. Im still tempted to get on one. "Look at them dont they look cool". They are fun and dangerous at the same time. Little children look at you and all they see is the fun in riding. They see their favorite heros riding motorcycles and its cool to them. Its not cool when you have a accident on one though. Most ladies are attracted to guys that have motorcycles. Thats one of the reasons why most guys get a motorcycle. Trust me, I got a lot of attention. Im not saying I did'nt like the attention.

Regrets

I've been thinking about getting another motorcycle and riding again. Once you start riding, its fun and exciting. I don't want to go through this again. In the future I might just decide to ride again. I feel bad inside everyday, because I see motorcycles going down the street, and it hurts me because I know that use to be me. But, then on the other hand I could care less about motorcycles. Because of what happened to me, I know I should hate motorcycles but I don't. So I'm kind of stuck between loving to ride motorcycles or every time I see a motorcycle wanting to blow it up. I'm so confused. I just learned how to pop a wheelie. I was advancing my motorcycle skills when I had my accident. This hole experience has really changed my life. I think I've done pretty well for someone who's had a head injury. I had a bad attitude before my motorcycle accident. But now it had got out of control, but as time went on I've learned to control my attitude a little bit better. Someone who was a calm person before they got a head injury, would develop an attitude. That's on of the side effects of a head injury.
