Until you’ve seen things through people’s eyes and heard things through their ears you’ll never understand – that’s what I’ve realized

Yesterday after realizing that until you’ve seen things through people’s eyes and heard things through their ears you’ll never understand I wrote the following Facebook post:

Through my eyes and ears

A stare from an adult is a reminder that to some of the world i’m still a circus-freak (i don’t see myself that way but some don’t agree)

“I’ll pray for you” = “You’re broken and need fixing”

Stairs (without an elevator/ramp as an alternative ) is my worst nightmare and greatest barrier to entry everywhere

My wheelchair = my way of getting from A to B it is NOT THE DEFINITION OF ME
