Day 619

Doing things the way other people do is really overrated – that’s what I keep learning 🙂

It’s 1 : 50 PM on day 619 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth,  feed myself  Oats  for breakfast, drink  Green Tea by myself,   publish my Disability of the Day feature and exercise my right hand –  I  cut  a piece of  bread into smaller pieces  using a knife with my right hand my knife skills are getting better by the day I am SO HAPPY!

Today I had a banana in my hand and had to peel it but no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t peel it from the top like people usually do so I used my fingers to pry it open growing up I just wanted to fit and do everything the way everybody else did but now I realize what the hack life’s too short who cares if I peel a banana from the top or from the sides as long as it’s peeled. Do you have your heart set on doing things the way everybody else does or do you do things your own way?
