So I'm pretty sure I just faced my own death. Ah, man my throat hurts so bad right now. It was pretty scary, I swallowed something wrong and seriously choked. I tried coughing to clear it but it wasn't working. I ended up running to the bathroom, starting to hit things as I went. My face was turning red and I seriously thought I wasn't going to be okay for a second.

I managed to cough it up finally. But I ended up on my knees beating the ground. Ack, my throat hurts so much right now. What's really frightnening is that I was alone and no one could have helped me. I could have called 911, but I would have passed out by the time they got there. But I was choking, so I couldn't have even spoke! I could have banged at the neighbors door. But they're never around, and could they even help?

Facing your own possible end is certainly eye opening. It's just crazy, I asked in my last journal entry for life to get better and I'm greeted with a frightning experience that really reminds you of your mortality. How is that better?!
