Survivor’s Guilt

July 27, 2006

Half a decade ago, I figured in a vehicular accident which caused the lives of two of my friends. Given the circumstances then, I should have died with them but I didn't. Why? To this day, I still don't know why I was given a reprieve and not them. Survivor's Guilt. It is a deep feeling of guilt often experienced by those who have survived some catastrophe that took the lives of many others. Do I have it? I'm not sure. I just hope and pray that I didn't survive at someone else's expense.

Some say I'm still alive because I still haven't fulfilled my purpose here on earth. What could it be? It's kinda daunting because as they : a lot is expected to whom much is given. Because of the accident, I have played a thousand what if scenarios in my mind. Don't get me wrong, I am thankful and grateful for my nth life (I'm sure my guardian angel has been working overtime) but I just can't help but wonder. I still have a lot of questions but I also have enough faith to know that I am where God wants me to be right now. Enough said.
