Still don’t know how I escaped it. But I did. It wasn’t my time. So ALMOST doesn’t count.
It’s 2024, and I am still here, thankful for Life. I will slow down and love life every day as if it were going to be my last. Cos one day, it will be. Just like 31st December, 2023.
Life is too short to be anything but happy. Grateful.
If it’s not time, it’s NOT your time! 2023 was NOT my TIME”.
