IT WORKED???

You don’t have to be on the brink of collapse to use your mobility aids.

You don’t need to be limping to use your cane. You don’t need to be staggering to use your crutches. You don’t need to be falling over to use your rollater. You don’t need to be too weak to stand to use your wheelchair.

They’re there to help you and you are never too “strong” to be using something that helps you.

Shout out to the ten year old who just got diagnosed. Shout out to the housebound fourteen year old. Shout out to the eighteen year old who can’t go to the university they wanted. Shout out to the twenty two year old who can’t get a job. Shout out to the twenty six year old with a caretaker. Shout out to the thirty year old who can’t buy their own house.

Shout out to young disabled people. We exist.

Why is it that when you have a chronic illness everyone insists on making it about them and the inconvenience it causes them and not about the fact you have a lifelong disability?

People with abandonment issues either apologise for everything or will never apologise again as long as they shall live

There is no in between.

Whenever anyone vents to me or gets really emotional a lot my first thought is that they’re doing it for attention. They’re dramatising it to make it all about them because that’s what I would do.

And then when they keep doing it it’s like okay you made your point can you shut up now?
