Sometimes people don’t need you to fix things for them they just need you to listen – that’s my message to the world.

It’s 12  : 07 PM on day 1172 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  pray,  brush my teeth,   read 1 Chronicles 5, publish my Disability of the Day feature,  feed myself  All Bran Flakes and boiled egg for breakfast, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles,  stretch my hamstrings and hang out with my sister.

Today was one of those days I wished I could make people see life through my eyes sometimes I tell people I’m in pain or that I’m uncomfortable and some of them respond by saying what can I do about it I wish they understood that I don’t need them to do anything except listen. Do you listen to other people talking about their problems even if you can’t fix things for them?
