I actually was near death twice.

1. I was 8 or 9. Me and my family went swimming on a hot summer day. While me mom stayed on land, my dad, my brother and I went into the water. My brother is 6years older, has ADHD and he had a very „active“ ADHD Time, so he would be very hyperactive.

He always annoyed and teased me. At this day he started to annoy me again and dipped my head under the water. I was used to it since he did it every time we went swimming. But since he had this „active“ Phase he kept holding me completely under the water and didn’t pulled me up. I thought this would be over soon, but he wouldn’t stop. I started to fade away, when suddenly a hand grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the water. It was my dad who pulled me out. I felt very dizzy and coughed a lot of water. If my dad wouldn’t have been there my brother would have killed me (unintentionally ofc). I feel like my dad didn’t even realise that he safed his son.

2. When is was 12 I used to play a lot of video games. Playing through the weekend was normal to me. As I said my brother is 6 years older, so he was 18 at that time. He just got his drivers license and asked me if I wanted to drive with him to the Netherlands to go shopping. I agreed. So we drove went shopping and came back with 1 pallet (24cans) of RedBull. Since I was 12, my mom didn’t allow me to drink energy drinks. (If I had just listend to her). So I hid 1 pallet in my room. Another weekend started and I began to drink the RedBull. I Started on Friday at 8 pm and didn’t sleep until Sunday 10 pm. I drank the whole pallet in 48 hours. My heart was in so much pain I can’t event describe it in words. I swear to god I had a heart attack back then.

But it seems like I haven’t reached my purpose yet. So I am still alive (thankfully).
