~ Intervention ~ A fun and problematic second chance (Novel) [1/26]

Sabrina was a girl who lived her youth leaving her days go pass without worrying about making them worth, until one day life gives her a shake that will force her to rethink her attitude.
Now she will have to deal with a couple of supernatural and very special friends who will teach her (sometimes with unorthodox methods) that in life you have to take risks, make mistakes and experience new things to be really happy.
And little by little she will understand that repentance of the things that were done is nothing compared to repentance of that which was never attempted.

This is a story I wrote some years ago while I was in high school, at first I wanted this to be a story for my younger sisters, but it was growing into a novel.
I will publish it little by little, chapter by chapter, and I really hope you like it.

And if you find any errors in grammar and writing ... I hope you can excuse me, this is a translation that I do from Spanish (which is my native language, and the original language of this novel), the version that I show here is a mix between an online translator and my knowledge of English. So ... I'm so sorry, I hope at least you understand.

Why is it said that a person is wasting his life? What exactly does he do so that all, unanimously, agree that this person wasted his life?

Is it because he got married very young, had many children and did not enjoy his youth and freedom as he should?
Or because he lived from party to party, without committing to anything and never knew the warmth of a family?

Maybe because he worked hard day and night leaving everything else aside to get an empty success?
Or because he never tried hard enough and spends his days yearning for the fame and fortune that would make his life full?

Maybe because he's a simple innkeeper no one notices, when could he be a fabulous rockstar praised by crowds?
Or is it because he is an unfortunate rockstar who has no private life, instead of a lucky innkeeper who can live quietly in anonymity?

The truth is that these things will always be subjective, each person has a particular concept of happiness in their mind, because that is the real answer, a person wastes his life when he is unhappy, when he looks back and is not happy with the things that they make him be what he is now, when he finds himself wanting always change something.

"No one knows what he have until he lose it" is a well-known saying, try to explain that people tend to take everything for granted and never value or notice the important things in life.

And I mean the really important ones, because ... What do we really lose? Possessions? No, what we lose are opportunities.

By making the wrong decisions we lose the opportunity to love and be loved, to laugh, to dream, to feel free, safe, satisfied ... and the abundance or lack of those sensations are what, at the time of our death, we It makes us leave in peace or full of regrets.

My name is Sabrina Spencer and on the day of my death I was full of regrets.

The irony is that I didn´t regret for having done this or that, on the contrary, I regretted for everything I didn´t do.
I let pass each and every one of the opportunities that were presented to me throughout my twenty-one years of life, and that's why I was never happy and I never felt full.

In conclusion ... I wasted my life.

Luckily there are second chances, it was the last one that was presented to me and the only one that I did not miss. Better late than never, right? And now I can say that I am a different person, and one of the happiest women in the universe.

Don´t get confused, I´m not a ghost, nor one of those lunatics who claim to remember past lives, I am simply a person who, by divine consensus, had a second chance.

Nor do I say that miraculously saved me from some tragic accident ... Although maybe yes, I don´t know, that is one of the things I prefer not to think about.

The truth is that I was used to letting the days go by without doing anything to make it worthwhile, without my life being worth it and I learned, by the hard way, that that should not be done. And when I say the hard way I mean the difficult method , you know… plan B, because plan A didn't work for me.

That was a month I will never forget, during that time I met the four people, if I can call them that, who taught me the four things that make me happy today. Browly taught me to value my existence ... To value myself. Alister taught me to trust, and Dick and Nolan taught me to ... Take risks? That is still under discussion, but the truth is that they taught me to live.

You will wonder what I'm talking about, so maybe I should tell you my story so that you can understand me and see that everything I say makes sense.

I will tell you about my experience with The Death, I will narrate the last month of my life and how that month I changed everything, so that all of you learn from my mistakes.

My story begins a long time ago, one night in May ...
