“When God talks, you gotta listen. Some of the craziest things that happen to you end up being the things that you needed most. In this case I honestly feel like God just basically told me to sit down,” says comedian Kevin Hart, in a deeply felt examination of his life posted to Instagram.
“When you’re moving too fast and doing too much sometimes you can’t see the things that you’re meant to see,” Hart says. “But after my accident, I have a whole new perspective. My appreciation for life is through the roof.”
Hart was involved in a life-threatening car crash and has been off Instagram — where he hosts a very lively active feed for tens of millions of followers — since August 31. That means a 60-day absence from the social media platform — and pretty much all communication — for perhaps the hardest working man in show business.
Here was Hart’s last post before the accident, from August 31.
