My Car Accident Story.

READ DESCRIPTION FIRST PLSS
i've since uploaded more video's related to the accident, my injury, and ongoing recovery journey. watch here: • Disabled Diaries
hey everyone. it's future me. i filmed and uploaded this video so early on into my recovery, my brain was a mess, and i don't really show that in this video. that's because my instant coping mechanism was to poke fun at it and 'stay positive' in like a fake ironic way, which you can tell by the multiple stupid jokes i make in this video (yeeted out of a car???). honestly wish i had waited longer before i filmed this but i also am glad it shows how i was at the beginning. I DOWNPLAYED the whole story without realizing or knowing. It was much more serious and scary than I make it out to seem in this video. It's even insulting to my present self now (8 months later) how light hearted and chill I seem about the worst thing that has ever happened in my life so far. nevertheless, I hope I still get my point across through this badly-expressed video. when we're young we're more reckless, we think the world lies at our fingertips, and sometimes we can take it a bit too far if we lose sight of whats important. unnecessary speeding on the highway is not cool or something to show off about. not wearing a seatbelt does not make you more edgy. sadly, these are things that are just ingrained in our minds from the way we've grown up. for example: my only reason for not wearing a seatbelt was because i was in jakarta. in jakarta, 90% of the time you're on the road - you're stuck in traffic. people in the backseat just don't wear their seatbelts. it bites you in the ass later on, as i have learned now. i always wear my seatbelt now. i don't take life for granted. but im also not a scaredy prude who just stays home and doesn't remember to 'live'. i still love adventures and taking risks. i refuse to let this accident jeopardise that spirit. but i am now learning that there is a line that has to be drawn. obviously, some things are not in our control and this accident is a result of that. its no ones fault. but i do want to share this story just as a warning and to raise awareness of that line and knowing when to draw it. at the end of the day, making mistakes and learning from it is what helps us grow. im going to keep making mistakes and im going to keep growing. but don't wait for shit like this to happen to you before you 'change your ways'.
sorry kinda went off there and idk if that all makes sense haha but the date is aug 17, 2019 and i am the happiest i have ever been. I owe all my recovery and strength to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. He protected me that night, even if ya'll think he didn't. I could have actually died and He spared me from that so that I could have this testimony to share with you. This is what I believe.
hope this cleared some things up. comment or dm any questions you may still have about me or the accident and i'll try to answer them in a q&a because there's still more to to the story that i want to share! also i don't mention the drivers name out of respect for his privacy.
no im not doing this for attention this is my channel and i get to share whatever i wanna about my life :~) also i wanna remind ya'll to WEAR YA DAMN SEATBELTS!!
i lov u hehe bye for now

[@GraceESutanto]

Thank the Lord you’re alive from the flipeddy car accident. Go inspire KZbin to wear their seatbelt, even if you’re in the back seat. Also, don’t speed on the highway or any road children. 6 months will be long but you’ll get there and eventually walk again. Prayin for you all the way from the UK. Hoping for a speedy recovery and that we can hangout once I get back to JKT ☺️

[@RachelNielsen]

thank u grace!!

[@stacyeedavis8584]

We love you guys be safe and drive safe be careful I'm so glad you didn't die 😊😊😊❤❤❤💘💗💓💓💕💕💞💞

[@FabiolaSuarez]

Hope you’re okay!

[@nicoledavis6065]

i was hit by a car, May last year and broke my back and my collar bone so i basically couldnt do anything for ages. i understand ur pain although i didnt go in a wheelchair because i didnt go anywhere :') and i use my pain as a chance for humor bc my humor is dark like that so all my friends say things like me: im going out for a while friends: ok dont get hit by another car! OR friends: make sure you look both ways this time. yes, it was the drivers fault, but we still joke as though it was mine xD

[@RachelNielsen]

Nicole Davis ohmygod that’s horrible!!! i’m so sorry to hear that. i really want to be positive but it is difficult, so i too let air out through dark humor... oh dear. hope you’re okay now but it’s really nice to hear from someone who got through a similar situation 💜

[@nicoledavis6065]

@@RachelNielsen wow, its so nice to hear back from you. and yes, it was hard but i dont really get upset about it now. yes, sometimes i have panic attacks when hearing cars beep or ambulances going past or seeing someone after getting hit but whats the point in whining about it? joking makes it so much easier to cope with and finally im starting to get over my fear of roads. wishing you the best and speediest recovery rachel.

[@RachelNielsen]

wow can't believe youre only 12 and so wise! youre inspiring, thank you for this x

[@nicoledavis6065]

@@RachelNielsen no problem. :)) hope you have an amazingly fast recovery. i recommend eating alot of foods containing protein and foods that boost keratin growth as that is amazing for your bones and helped my bones grow back stronger.

I also got in a car accident. I was in the back seat and also didnt put on my seat belt. I didnt fly out the car though but I did break my tibia and fibula. They had to put me a plate and nails in my leg. The car accident happened recently in september 27 2019 and the surgery happened on october 2 2019 its now november 26. I started using crutches like 3 weeks ago.

[@RachelNielsen]

So sorry that happened to you! Stay strong!
