Day 1876: India, Fear and Ignorance

“To me, Fearless is not the absence of fear. It’s not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death.” ― Taylor Swift

 

It’s  12 :  43 PM on day 1876 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray,  read Acts 21, publish my Disability of the Day feature, learn one new thing -Definitions for desultory 1) digressing from or unconnected with the main subject; random: a desultory remark. 2) lacking in consistency, constancy, or visible order, disconnected; fitful: desultory conversation.- have breakfast and work on my potential future project.

 

As you may or may not know my family and I are going on vacation to India in less than a month I am both excited for and apprehensive about our trip excited because I haven’t seen my family over there in like three years and apprehensive because the last time I was there every time I went out in public I was made to feel like a circus-freak my parents will probably try to keep me inside in an effort to protect me but they will fail miserably because come what may I fully intend on being out there in public in people’s faces I refuse to hide in my house like I’ve committed some sort of crime I’ve earned the right to roll through this life with my head held high.

 

(Note: My intention in writing this post is not to give India or my fellow Indians a bad name I’m just writing from my past experience).

    If you have the courage not to hide, you will help to educate people. But it is not something to be done lightly. I wish you courage, but do what is within what your spirit can cope with. We each have our own paths, even those gazing on you as you go around. Hope I make sense! Bev
