This is an upbeat interpretation of the writing prompt. You describe an optimistic attitude to your life which appears to have been rewarded. Thanks for sharing.

A very well-written life story in hundred and fifty words. Sometimes we find love and luck over the internet and we never turn back when it all works out right.

Thanks for your review. Trying to romance someone from 15000 miles away wasn't easy but she was very much worth it.

This account shows what a power of example you have been and continue to be. This has an interesting style of presentation. It is not rotely told. You also show the reader when you don't feel sorry for yourself and do something, you may be rewarded with a dream-come-true.

Thanks for your review. Not really sorry for myself but sometimes can't help thinking what might have been.

Hello, anonymous,

Great entry for the Your Life in 150 words writing prompt contest.

Your life is interesting. It's funny how our choices take us from beginning to end in the most unique ways. So glad you survived the accident. It sounds difficult to overcome but you did it.

Good luck in the contest.

Your story it's an amazing veni-vidi-vici realm. Born in one continent and ending up in another, your life must have been full of adventures - so many places to see and to assimilate. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

Thanks for your review. Even after 5 years in the US it still amazes me how different it is to Australia.

Good story.
Lousy accident at such a young age!
I appreciate your fortitude and that you don't feel sorry for yourself, as many would in your situation.
I am very glad you found love.
Your closing line is a good one...thankful and hopeful.
Good luck in the contest.

Thanks for your review. I consider myself lucky the accident happened when it did, I was too young to know any better.

An excellent use of the 150 words to tell a quick and very interesting story with the limited amount of words used. I'm permanently handicapped also but my storyline would be almost impossible to fit into 150 descriptive words so I salute you on your accomplishment here with your synopsis. God's Love and Blessings to you both.

Fine work in a flash--you didn't waste a word--masterfully written with fresh phrasing--head collided--crossed words (clever play on crossed swords!) Good luck.

there are a couple of errors, i.e. missing hyphens that cut this piece down to 147 words. You will need 3 more words. These phrases should be hyphenated:

Four-month-old (Compound adjective)
mid-nineties (Compound word)

Good luck in the contest
