I crashed at 70 MPH head-on into the freeway wall

March 11th, 2010. It was a Thursday night. I was coming home from school and crashed at 70 MPH head on into the freeway wall.
I came out uninjured except for horrible bruises, a badly cut up tongue and maybe a cracked wrist and sternum. Haven't been to doctor yet. My car is totaled and may be unfix-able. I thought I died after the impact. I was surprised when I realized I was still alive. I watched my windshield crack when I hit the wall. Never saw my airbag come out, never knew airbag was out until I looked down at my body to see if I was still in it and alive. The doors wouldn't open. My car wouldn't turn off. I rolled down the window and jumped out the window. Two people had stopped for me. I was so traumatized and couldn't find my phone - I couldn't take care of myself. It was those two people who called the police and my family.
I cannot believe I am alive.
The next day I just went to the beach and layed on the sand and basked in the sun. Smiling that I was actually lying there, alive and unbroken. Bruised and cut. What a blessing.
I cannot believe I am alive.
