How flexible are your legs, Joseph? Much more than mine it seems!

[WheelzOfFortune]

@mapleclose Not as flexible as they used to be, unfortunately. =|

PS. thanks for answering me so quickly, wicked cool of you. PSS. ur videos are vry helpful, informative, and motivational. you should make video with your gf talkning about your relationship!

[WheelzOfFortune]

@207waylifeis Well she is pretty shy, but maybe I'll be able to convince her. ...she has been in one of my videos already, but she didn't say anything.

[207waylifeis]

do you think its easier or harder having been in a wheel chair basically your entire life or harder because u never experienced the difference, or is it not a thing for you at all, just being how you've always lived. like would you would have prefered to had some years being able to walk, or keep your life as is, as its made u, you? dunno if this makes any sense. but thanks for answering me bro i apprecoate it. also not trying to offend you just curious.

[WheelzOfFortune]

@207waylifeis No offense taken. I would say that having been a wheelchair user since...pretty much as far back as I can remember has made it easier than if I had been injured later in life.

For example, when you kindly, explained us the way you felt when someone parked on a wheelchair zone. It really opened my eyes (I never park on a wheelchair zone, by the way) I didn’t imagine how selfish we, human kind, could be… Well, I hope you don’t mind give us, like invaluable presents, “bits” of you. Thanks for your time and I hope hear from you soon.

[WheelzOfFortune]

@decuirkatia Ah yes, okay. I understand now. I suppose I have done fewer err..."chatting" videos recently. I'll have to get back to doing those. Thanks!

As I read all the comments in this video and in others that you had made; it seems to me, that sharing pieces of your life (experiences, opinions, thoughts, way of living, YouTube experiences, or anything that you want to share with us) inspire them, and inspire me as well. Not just because I’m a writer, but also because I’m, like many of your followers, a sensitive person.

[decuirkatia]

Hi! good to have you back!. Reading your comments, i met my husband on the internet too, but long, long ago. lol. Could you share with us some of your experiences using YouTube. Guys like you are really insparing for all of us!

[WheelzOfFortune]

@decuirkatia Thanks for the comment. So cool that you met your husband online. It is definitely happening a lot more now than it used to. What do you mean, specifically, by sharing my experiences about using YouTube?

[207waylifeis]

also do you have a girlfriend? assuming you are straight, im gay myself but would love to hear your thoughts on relationships with people who are not in wheel chairs like myself. would u prefer some one in a chair or some one who's not, do you think it matters or is love, love. I never thought i would date someone in a wheelchair. just never crossed my mind but i fell in love, hard. and you cant help that. anyways a relationship video would be cool. cheers !

[WheelzOfFortune]

@207waylifeis Yes, I do have a girlfriend. She "found" me on YouTube. I've actually been asked before if I would prefer someone in a wheelchair or not in a wheelchair and I just never really thought about it that way. If I was with someone in a wheelchair that would be great. If not, that would be great, also. I didn't really mind being alone before my g/f and I got together, either. All the best to you and your b/f and thanks for the comments! =)

[207waylifeis]

hey my boyfriend and i love your videos, he has a spinal cord injury, but anyways my question may ne a personal one but I would love to hear your story of how you came to be in the wheel chair. PS its so awesome how you do so many things its ery inspiring the way you live your life. It would be awesome if you could comment back a quick story of what happened or even make a video, if not too personal. keep being so f'ing badass! peace and love man!

[WheelzOfFortune]

@207waylifeis I did make a video about that a while ago, actually. Well, maybe not just about that, but I've mentioned it. Anyway, the short version is that I was paralyzed at 6 months old as the result of botched surgery to fix patent ductus arteriosis.

[protrudingears]

Thank you! You were missing already! :)

@protrudingears =)

[devman1950]

Your legs are so incredibly flexible I bet your can cross them behind your head even :) I wish I were that flexible for sure.

[WheelzOfFortune]

@devman1950 Haha, I used to be able to to that, but I don't think I still can. Thanks for the comment!
