Labels only have power if you believe in them– that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 7 : 29  PM on day 511 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth,  feed myself a boiled egg for breakfast, drink tea by myself,  prepare and publish my Disability of the Day feature,   work,   feed myself rice and curry for lunch,   work some more  and watch TV.

Today my dad was on the phone with someone from our medical aid company and he said she is my depended she is disabled which was true but I hated the word dependent because that word didn’t apply to me and I was doing everything in my power not to be dependent. Do you believe in the labels people put on you?
