crash into me

i'm ok. ok?!

a man anxiously peered at me as if trying to discern what is going through the chaotic world that is my mind. he asked me the question again, unconvinced by my previous answer.

are you sure you're ok?

yes. i'm ok.

i reassured him. and we went our separate ways.

he went back to his children, riding their brand new Starex, unaware of the incident that happened while i returned to my faithful corolla, which acquired a new dent and several scratches to add to its very "textured" exterior.

one thing popped into my mind...car accidents are very similar to relationships.

there are always at least two parties involved.
most of the time, people do not mean to cause such pain and trouble.
it happens when you are happily driving and minding your own business when a series of unfortunate events build up to cause that one BIG event.
and we always presume that someone is hurt...got hurt.

that might be true for quite sometime. but after all that, people move on with their lives. just like the driver of the corolla. her car might have endured some minor to moderate damage but it is still intact, up and running. and she's okay. just a bit shaken up.
