Part of growing up is understanding that how people treat you doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with you – that’s what I keep learning 🙂
It’s 8: 19 PM on day 659 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to prepare and publish my Disability of the Day feature, work, brush my teeth, feed myself Puri and potato curry for breakfast, work some more, feed myself grilled chicken for lunch. continue working, watch TV, feed myself steak, French fries and salad for dinner, brush my teeth once more and play 30 seconds – the board game – with my family
Today my father said to my mother “N” – my sister – only wants to go places with me I’ll take her to which my mother said what about Nisha who’s going to take her places my father got so irritated and said why do always bring Nisha up when I’m talking about “N” (my mom doesn’t want me to feel left out) the way he said it made me feel like he thought suggesting my sister and I be treated equally was absurd because I’m just a thing that sits around doing nothing but I keep realizing that the way people treat me has nothing to do with me. Have you grown up?
