Cherish those who support you and let go of those who don’t – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 6: 12  PM on day 546 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, publish my Disability of the Day feature, tweet about my 21 For 21 Campaign, work, drink tea by myself, feed myself a peanut butter sandwich for breakfast, work some more, feed myself rice and curry for lunch and  tweet some more about my campaign.

Last night we – my family and I – went to an event and as per usual I was sitting with my mom and the other ladies while my sister and the other kids even remotely my age were off talking to each other I remember feeling, in a room full of people, more lonely than I felt when I was alone which is basically  how I felt today I was promoting my 21 For 21 Campaign and the whole time I was feeling like nobody was listening to me but in retrospect I realize that there were people who were paying attention I just wasn’t paying attention to them so from today onwards I am choosing to cherish those who support me and pay less attention to those who don’t. Do you pay more attention to the people who ignore you than you do to the people who support you?
