People who are visibly different have to deal with things that others don’t – that’s what I’m trying to deal with.
It’s 4 : 08 PM on day 1188 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, feed myself boiled egg for breakfast, read 1 Chronicles 21, publish my Disability of the Day feature and go to the mall with my family.
Today I was at the mall with my family and this woman sort of stepped in front of me and opened and closed her hand in front of my face and then later a woman from our church kissed my hand and told me she remembered my beautiful smile usually people coming up to talk to me doesn’t bother me but today I just wanted to be a “normal” twenty-two-year-old at the mall with my family I’m trying to deal with the fact that people who are visibly different have to deal with things that others don’t.
