I’m going to be disabled my entire life. And it isn’t because I haven’t done enough or tried hard enough to get better.
This seems to make a lot of abled people uncomfortable because they say things like “oh don’t give in! Don’t let it hold you back!
Me accepting my disability as a reality is how I learn to cope with it and make the adjustments I need. My disabilities do hold me back and acknowledging that isn’t a bad thing.
