God really loves me, & yesterday confirms all doubts… I’m grateful to still be here. I’ll never forget. Head jammed, back hurts, face bruised. Couldn’t even sleep at night, too much pain. Flashbacks messing up my head already. Hospital bills going crazy. Over 400 million in damages. Corvette Stingray 2022 GONE. Jeep Grand Cherokee 2015 GONE. Property damage. Won’t lie, I don’t even know where to start from. But I’m glad I’m still here. God got his plans for me. Still hospitalised. Imma need all the love & support I could possibly get from the masses.”
