I’ve tended toward this viewpoint myself as I’ve grown older. Just this week, our AC went out for 3 days (I live in Phoenix), and I got a pretty nasty head cold at the same time. My past self would’ve been so bitchy and moany about the situation, but my current me was more “what can ya do?” I did what I could to try to keep my family as comfortable as possible and we got through it. Turned out to be a pretty incredible week by the end of it. Side note: I truly do not mean to be flippant or victim blaming in any way, but honestly, OP, how did you get hit by a car? I’ve never even come close to getting hit by one, and I’ve changed tires on a freeway during rush hour. I mean to receive a genuine explanation here, because my children are young and I want to teach them how to be safe around roads. (I’m assuming this was a pedestrian-vehicle incident because the article is light on details)
