the day we almost lost it all...

this is not a travel blog... no touristic information, no touristic pictures...! its' more a personal story, a way to release the saddness...

this is the northern edge of evia island! the place where my family owns a beach house, where i spend a part of my summer holidays with friends & family! for this summer it was my last stop... 4 days there for just relaxing & then back to athens to start working & studying for the exams! that day we visited lihadonisia islands (the only place in greece with corals) it was nice! we met old friends, we swam, we took pictures,we laughed, we had a really great time! we were supposed to go home pack our thing & leave the next morning! so we got into the car to drive a small distance that ive done a thousand times by my car! but everything can change in a blink of an eye.

.. in a dangerous turn i lost control of the car, we crashed onto a huge olive tree, the car was totally destroyed & the 3 of us were wounded... we were waiting for 2 hours the ambulance to come, but fortunatelly many ppl were around, talking to us & helping everyway that they could! that moments were... fine... with so much adrenaline in our blood, we continiued talking & joking, for strange a reason i could feel no pain at that time& i was... ecstatic! but it wasnt as simple as that (of course), i stayed in the hospital for 10 days, i needed to have a surgery, i scaerd my family so much &... they say i almost died that night...

now... 3 months later... it seems like nothing is the same...

the scars from my face are slowly fading, i will be able towalk as i used to in about 2 months from now, but something inside is seriously broken... i cant see things the way i used to. from 'mr unhealthy' im trying to be 'mr healthy'... i want to have my body fit & my mind lucid, to respect & protect my life! but all this has made me, more introvert that i seem antisocial, ppl say i ignore them, they get agry with me & they leave... but i need my time i need my space & i'll just take them! of course this change of view has made some releationships i had in my life to crumble & i really dont know if i want to save them... things are different or they seem they are & i need time to adjust, to find my options & make my choises again but all this is so awkward, so weird... anyway i like changes, i like challenges... so everything will work out fine. right?! ;)

Stratis, Take it day by day... Every day you will get a little better... The best thing about the future is it comes one day at a time....your future is bright! People who have crisis' (even a house burglary) have this "cautious..withdrawn" feeling... but it WILL be alright.. Just be yourself... you are a really nice, funny and bright person... Cut yourself a little slack and be happy. (yeah, I know,... I'm such a mom!)I like the quote from oldschoolbill.... it's perfect isn't it?... Take care of yourself.. Your Pal ~ Sylvia
