I fucking love my knee braces and crutches. They make my life so much easier and I’m so lucky to have them. I went on a hike today (mostly flat but with stuff like fallen trees and tree roots and grasses making it bumpy and stuff) and I could actually do it! I walked for an hour for over a mile and I’m so fucking proud of myself! I know that because it was flat some people might not consider it a hike but I do and I’m proud.

Happy disability pride month!

always remember, you do NOT deserve the pain, you did NOT "earn" it, it's not some kind of karma that you have to pay for, it's NOT your fault, you're not guilty for your illness and never will

I think that it's really important for people to realize that being disabled is traumatic. genuinely. your body and brain feel like they are breaking down and wrong. you are in constant heavy stress from stuff like chronic pain. most disabled people i know have a somewhat regular emotional break down from the trauma of it all. and we are expected to just smile through it by society, to not be in the way, to not be an issue.

I just want to not be in pain.

I just want have parts of my body not be numb.

I just want to be able to go up a flight of stairs without feeling like I’m dying.

I just want to be able to go on a walk and actually enjoy it rather than have to think about how close the next bench is.

I just want to not have so many gi issues.

I just want to not be sick all the time.

I just want to be able to go through a day and not be absolutely exhausted by the end of it.

I just want to be able to live and not have to worry about whether I’ll be able to do what I can do today tomorrow.

I just want to have a body that works right.
