How can I make another person believe something that happened to me personally, have no proof of? How can I make it not look like I’m making it up, like it never happened?
I was 19 and had just suffered some very traumatic events, one of which was my mother dying. It had happened a few months prior and it wasn’t a pretty death, and I was having awful nightmares. Anyway, I had been praying. I’m a believer and I was praying for a sign. It wasn’t me asking God to prove himself, it doesn’t work that way, I know, but in belief I was praying that a sign be given to show me I was going to be okay. I didn’t feel okay and I didn’t feel safe and nothing in my life was right at the time. I had invested around 4hours that evening to prayers and tears. I had not stopped. I had a roommate at the time who could probably hear me and was likely sick to death of me. She came and leaned against the wall across from me. I was still lying on my bed staring up at the ceiling just finishing my prayers. I could feel her staring at me but for a moment no one said anything… then she said “come on let’s have something to eat”. So I say up and I looked at her. Now here is the part I have no explanation for. I was just giving in and in the middle of saying a very sullen “okay” when all of a sudden my mouth became full of something!! It was so shocking to me I bolted to the sink and spat it out. It was a mouthful of blood! I looked up and I heard my roommate gasp. She was standing there with a worried look on her face. She passed me a tissue and I dabbed the inside of my mouth… nothing? No blood, confused I looked in the sink to just see the last little trail going down the sink, then it was gone. I said to her “it was a sign from God!” But she laughed and scoffed at me instantly. She told me it must have been my tooth or something. I had exactly zero oral issues, I didn’t think that was it at all. I figured that that was my sign.
No one believes this anytime I say this, but I’m still gonna day it anyway.
It was a dark winter morning. I had missed my bus again and this had become a common occurrence. I saw my school bus pull out just as I reached the bus stop. I ran behind the bus to catch it, I was hoping I could catch up with the bus at another bus stop which my school bus would reach late because it took a longer path than mine.
I looked around before crossing and saw a beam of light growing in intensity towards me and thought I could cross the road before whatever vehicle passed.Boy was I wrong,
It hit me from behind and I saw darkness, My head was going around in all directions, Time had literally slowed down as I came to a stop and saw the bright flash of light again racing towards me. I couldn’t even process what had happened as I saw that tire get on top of my leg.
I still can’t explain that feeling, no amount of strenuous exercise could ever hurt me as much as the Bus did in those 2 seconds. It happened so fast I couldn’t even process it properly.I was under the bus and saw the rear wheels come toward me.
With all my might I tried to get my legs out of the way, but by then someone had picked me up and the bus had stopped. I swear i heard someone go:
“A saw a bus run over his legs”
That is when I came to the grips of what happened. I would for sure lose the ability to play football(I wanted to become a football player back then). Amputation was what was in my mind. Hell, It would be a miracle if I could ever walk again on two legs. Imagine being so shocked that you can’t even cry in that moment.
It turned out to only be a flesh wound. I walked again within two weeks. There were only minor bruises all over my body. Whenever I tell people about a bus ran over my leg, They instantly assume I’m fooling them. Also, my course on fracture mechanics tells me that there is no way I would have walked again If that had really happened, but my memory of the incident was crystal clear.
