And sitting in a room talking about everything I’ve lost to this illness shockingly does not make me feel any better

But some fucking access to care and treatments will

The rage I feel when dr’s ask me if I’m experiencing anxiety or depression as of that’s the key to my sudden cure

Look, you try living through your health, dreams, and life being stripped from you and then tell me if you’re feeling anxious or depressed

They aren’t the cause, they’re a byproduct

That’s big news! And absolutely understandable given the state of things (whether that’s the reason or not). I think of your family often and wish you safety and flourishing happiness ❤️

😂😂😂 amazing!

I just made myself giggle imagining you luring people in with your ethereal phots and then snatching them with claws and screeching how not to be an asshole. Like a proper harpy ❤️

I’m sure you have a trove of terrible photos like the rest of us bc you are human afterall, but god damn does the camera love you!

I can fight for accessibility, when I have the energy, but it won’t always be possible. And there are too many people who see vulnerability as a target, so my world also feels less safe, and all of that is a lot to emotionally unpack and process.

Because, yes, while some individuals can see the person outside the disability, as a whole, the world is still a painful combination of those oblivious or unwilling to do so, and because of that my world is now smaller.

that my body truly cannot do everything I wish it could, that this lower plateau may be my new normal, that some friendships will be lost while others are gained, that I cannot hide anymore- there is no curtain to protect me from the cruelty of the world.

Accepting the need of a mobility device took me longer than it should. I don’t believe I am alone in that, it’s a collection of hard truths to face;

#disabilityawareness

It has been etched in my tears, carried in my grief, echoing through the ever growing collection of disappointments and limitations that have defined all aspects of my life behind doors.

#disabilityawareness

The exhaustion marking most movements, or taking hold after a burst of energy, so that I collapse like an actor who just stepped off stage.
