“I can’t even imagine where I would be if I didn’t join”

I’m a lifestyle and pet writer with over a decade of experience in copywriting, covering viral animal moments, well-being topics, and lifestyle trends.

"Idk man, it sounds like both conditions weren't the same, and you felt that subconsciously. It could've been blind luck, sure, but it seems more like you're good at what you do!"

"That actually happened to me twice. Once, I was buckling my seat belt, someone said they needed to talk to me, I got out of the car, and my friend who was driving hit a lamppost and spent several days in a coma, lost his spleen, broke ribs, etc.

Years later, I'd gone to a party with two friends, but wanted to stay a bit longer and tried to get the driver to give up his keys as he'd been drinking. I nearly managed to wrestle them from him, and he yanked them off my finger and ran to the car. The driver lost a couple of fingers, broke his hip, both legs, ribs, and had cranial fractures. The other guy, who'd also tried to stop him but ended up going with him, had some serious surgeries and broke a leg."

"This is my favorite story here! Beautiful."

"That's freaking awesome! I tell people all the time that if there was one thing I took away from college, it's how important networking and getting to know people is. Get to know everyone you meet, and you may end up in a perfect situation such as yourself. Best wishes!"
