Transformative Life Lessons: Three Disturbing Experiences
Written on
Chapter 1: A Bartender's Tale
Imagine a cocktail bar resembling the one from From Dusk Till Dawn, devoid of any supernatural beings. For over five years, I found myself working in such a place, where danger lurked around every corner. I faced gun threats, physical assaults, and even a harrowing attempt to confine me in a warehouse for robbery. However, the most frightening episodes of my life occurred outside of that bar, unexpectedly altering my existence. Below are the three most harrowing incidents I recall, along with the vital lessons I gained from them.
Section 1.1: The Night of the Jump
At the tender age of 13, I was at a hotel with my Scout group when my friend Raul introduced me to some peculiar cigars he had procured from a flea market. We spent the night indulging in these hippie cigars, and by 3 AM, I felt light-headed for the first time. I decided to retire for the night, but moments later, a note slipped under my door beckoned me to the balcony.
When I arrived, I found Raul with a sheet tied around his neck, preparing to jump. In a frantic rush, I leaped barefoot into the snowy streets below from the third floor, clinging to his legs to prevent him from falling. A vigilant supervisor, alerted by my screams, broke down the door and cut the sheet, saving Raul's life.
Lesson: Many individuals struggle to express their pain, often masking their distress with smiles. They silently plead for help, unable to articulate their struggles.

Section 1.2: A Brush with Death
At 19, while cramming for a crucial physics exam that threatened my scholarship, I consumed valerian tea and soon felt dizzy. I stumbled into the hallway, unable to articulate my desperation, only managing to emit moans. Gradually, I lost strength, collapsing in slow motion.
As I lay on the floor, my last coherent thought was a desperate wish to reconcile with my mother before dying. Thankfully, paramedics revived me.
Lesson: We often overlook what truly matters. At that moment, my priorities revolved around academics, financial success, and socializing. It took a near-death experience to realize that my deepest desire was to mend my relationship with my mother.

At 34, after enduring significant personal loss, I found myself employed at a multinational company. I mistakenly entered a romantic relationship with my boss, Teresa. We shared our troubled pasts, each revealing deep-seated wounds.
However, while I was away at a poker tournament, I learned that Teresa had rekindled a relationship with a married man, despite claiming to have moved on. Upon my return, I discovered a note I had left for her on the fridge, only to find it defaced with derogatory remarks in another handwriting. This betrayal forced me to terminate our relationship.
Lesson: We often attract individuals who mirror our own issues. However, during the healing process, it’s essential to prioritize our well-being over attempting to save others.
