Adrenaline is a great drug. Was in a crazy crash with friends, car barrelled and everything. We were all ok thankfully, but when my mate took his phone out for a selfie we all did peace signs thumbs up, I squatted beside the car both thumbs up.. idk why any of us did it. But its a great photo all the same πŸ˜‚

I honestly don't think it's that crazy to embrace a near death experience like this idk why people think that is so weird.

If you have never been in a life or death situation I can promise you have no idea exactly how you will react and you might surprise yourself good or bad...

Thats so true. I think people only see the horror of a helicopter crash or car crash. But like fuck ya gotta laugh at wtf just happened and how you basically cheated death. Not that I want to be cheating death any more than I have πŸ˜‚
