Not So Accidental
In 1991, my business partner tragically took his own life by intentionally unfastening his seatbelt and driving his car into a concrete barrier. He left behind a note on his work computer, outlining his intentions and providing an explanation for his actions.
In the note, he also expressed remorse for leaving me partnerless. To this day, I’ve kept this deeply personal revelation to myself, and everyone remains under the impression that it was an accidental incident.
Squeaky Clean
During my friend’s birthday party, I found him in a vulnerable state after having a few drinks. She was unconscious and had vomited on herself. In order to help her, I guided her into the shower to clean up and then made sure she was comfortable in bed. Realizing that it wouldn’t be appropriate to leave her in wet clothes, I took the responsibility of changing her, similar to how one would care for a baby during a diaper change. I dressed her in fresh clothes afterwards.
The next day, it felt a little awkward explaining what had happened, but I couldn’t bear the thought of her waking up in an uncomfortable situation. Thankfully, such extreme situations have been rare occurrences for me.
