“Sure, people with invisible disabilities don’t experience nearly as many physical accessibility concerns. The social justice accessibility, the value of our worth, the question of our validity in a diagnosis that may not fit in a diagnostic box: That is what truly makes our disabilities invisible.” – D, What it’s like to live with a hidden disability

It’s 12 : 24 PM on day 1474 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray, brush my teeth, read Proverbs 12, publish my Disability of the Day feature, stretch my hamstrings, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, feed myself egg with bread and a banana  for breakfast, work on my upcoming campaign – I was thinking of having someone smash plates of whip cream in my face for charity it seems kind of childish but I’m seriously considering it – spend time outside -it’s such a beautiful blue-sky day outside I love being in nature 🙂 – and listen to music.

Yesterday I read What it’s like to live with a hidden disability – an eye-opening guest post on Love That Max about what it’s like to live with an invisible disability – for most of my life I hated the fact that my wheelchair made me stick out like a sore thumb but after reading this post I realize that my “disability” being visible is actually a blessing in disguise the fact that people can see that I’m challenged gives me access to services and resources that would have otherwise not been available to me.
