You’ve got to rise above daily humiliation and degradation to become something spectacular – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 7: 40 PM on day 262 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself sweet potatoes for breakfast, watch TV, feed myself Chapati for lunch, go to physiotherapy (see pictures below), tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign –no luck but on this plus side my new friend, Adelaide Dupont, did write a blog post about my campaign earlier today – thanks Adelaide 🙂 – feed myself rice and curry for dinner and brush my teeth once more.

Today I was laying on my bed facing the black headboard when the memory of my mother describing – in detail – to my aunt – my uncle’s wife – how she bathed me suddenly popped into my mind and in that moment I felt as humiliated as I did the day I overhead the phone call but then I realized that I shouldn’t care what people think of me because the majority of them had already made their minds up about me. Are you using all the wrongs committed against you as an excuse not to be all that you can be?

Stan’s very sweet for saying so, but feel free to write what reflects you best.

Thanks to all my friends out there who are helping me make my dream come true: to make a better world for all of us!
