She probably rolled her eyes when she saw you drowning.

Because she's a race mixing whore that gave me shit-tier genetics, fuck her.
>>26596992
I don't remember ever being involved in any other drowning incidents, though.
>>26596964
That's rough OP, have you ever confronted her about it?
I have a story, told it before but it still angers me to this day.

Well fuck every single one of those assholes.
Only good thing to come out of it was that I learned the Heimlich maneuver so that shit doesn't happen to anyone on my watch.
Choking in a public place and knowing that not a soul gives a shit feels really fucking bad man.

I still go there from time to time, Taco Bell is good and cheap and the people there whip up the food fast enough. I'd like to think that if I hadn't coughed it up at the last second she'd have helped me, but if I didn't and she wasn't there I probably would've died.
I didn't see any white tunnels or see my life flash before my eyes, things just got dark.

We talked about it for about 2 days and now we never reference it because it was fucking scary. The car that got hit could have been us if we literally left school about 10 seconds later than we did. Fucking crazy my man

I can't see out of my left eye and my left hand has minor paralysis.
No one has any earthly idea how I lived and certainly have no idea why I am not a drooling vegetable.

I can't imagine what you felt in that moment.

The lifeguard was pretty qt at least. I've never gone to the beach again.

Holy phuck anon, that's crazy as chit. How did you feel when he told you that you were gonna die? Was it a quiet acceptance or just disbelief? How long ago did this happen?

Don't know, none of us ever wanted to look up the crash cause we really don't want to learn that we witnessed the death of a family or something.
>>26599695
>>26599775
That sounds like an absolutely life changing experience.
I'd say I want to experience that, but that's just because I was a husk for 3 years and I love any emotion I can get.

I'ts like the world was conspiring against you by letting you die that day, but you, on your own will and desire to live, severed the black thread sewing that scheme together

>>26600995
I'm not sure if I should be proud of that. It just tells me I don't watch out for myself when I drink.
Also this kind of alpha behavior doesn't help you with girls. They just thought I was crazy.
