Deduwka & Avalanche
Avalanche Avalanche
Hey Deduwka, I’m chasing the next big thrill, but I keep wondering how those wild moments actually fit into life’s bigger picture. Got any stories where a close call turned into a real lesson?

Sure thing, let me think back to a rainy afternoon in my village. I was walking home after a long day of chopping wood, when a gust of wind blew the top of the old windmill over onto the road. I swerved, but I’d forgotten my spare wheel. The road was slick, and the windmill’s wheel was spinning, threatening to hit me. I froze, then remembered the old river stone I’d found on a trip a few years back. I tucked it in my pocket, slid my hand into the back of the wheel, and, with a bit of luck and a lot of patience, I nudged it away just in time. That little brush‑with danger taught me two things: first, always keep a spare in your bag; second, don’t panic—take a breath, look for a simple solution. The windmill was later repaired, and I became a bit of a local hero for saving it from a bigger mess. The lesson? Life’s big thrills often come wrapped in small, practical fixes, and a calm mind can turn a close call into a good story and a useful habit.
