We are so much more than what we can do– that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 7 : 46 PM on day 526 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, prepare and publish my Disability of the Day feature, work,    drink tea by myself,   feed myself a boiled egg for breakfast, work some more, feed myself rice and curry for lunch, continue working, feed myself Chapati and mutton curry for dinner and brush my teeth once more.

Today I needed help doing something – I forgot what it was – and quite unusually I wasn’t beating myself up saying what kind of twenty-year-old needs help doing this because I realized that I was allowed to ask for a little more help considering the challenges I faced which is not to say I have given up on being independent I have not I just know that if I don’t accept myself where I am I will never get to where I’m going. Do you define yourself by what you can do?

If you’ve given to my cause or you can’t give now, please help me by sharing my cause with others. You can tweet about it like my friend Stan Faryna. This is the tweet he uses: @Nisha360 is a brave, smart young woman trying to make a better world for us all. Please help her do an amazing thing. http://bit.ly/hC7vOu

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!
