August 20, 1995 was the day that changed everything. Today is my survivalversary. 19 years ago today I got shot 3 times in a drive-by. Nothing has been the same ever since.
Today will be filled with raw emotion for me. I'll go from happy ecstatic to angry to sad to wishing it hadn't happened to accepting it. My world was rocked to the core that fateful day.
So ima have some breakfast, get ready for work, drink some coffee and try not to have a melt down in front of the rest of the world. Fingers crossed!
My parents were the first one to text me today, they always are on this day. They love me so much. I'm a lucky girl to have such wonderful people in my life who care so deeply about me.
I slept great last night, so maybe this year will be a bit better than the last.
The day I got shot was the day I became Sabrina the girl who got shot. Some other nicknames my friends bestowed upon me was hop-a-long and step-in-a-half. But the number one way people remember me is.... oh.. You're the girl who got shot. The nicknames were never my favorite, it always kinda hurt my feelings because I didn't want to be that. I am tho so I learned to accept it.
Have a wonderful day world and don't forget, even if you get shot n a drive-by you are the one who gets to choose how you live and what you do so get out there and explore this amazing world and enjoy your life, it's a precious gift that can be taken in the briefest of moments.
