Day 793

When you know you’re wrong apologize immediately   – that’s what I keep learning 🙂

It’s  2  : 32  PM on day 793 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to stretch my hamstrings, brush my teeth, feed myself bread and scrambled egg for breakfast, publish my Disability of the Day feature, practice typing with both hands, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscle, watch TV and talk to a friend.

Yesterday my mom was going on and on about how much work it was to take care of me  I snapped and said if you had taught me how to take care of myself when I was younger you wouldn’t have to be doing this now as soon as those  words came out of my mouth I knew how out of line I was but for some reason I couldn’t apologize in that moment so before I went to sleep I asked her to come to my room and I apologized sincerely funny thing is she had already forgotten about the whole incident.  Are you one of those people who would rather die than apologize?

I LOVE hearing from you feel free to leave a comment below.

Day 204

Words are like bullets: when well aimed, they have a pretty hard effect. – Unknown

It’s 4: 25 PM on day 204 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to survive a five hour road trip back to East London – the place I call home.

Yesterday our hometown of Lusikisiki was plunged into darkness so we started talking and Kevin – my ten-year-old brother – said with tears in his eyes you’re the reason I’m fat every time I eat something I wonder what you’re going to say and because of that I don’t even want to eat anymore and in that moment I saw life thought his eyes and couldn’t hold back the tears I just kept saying I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Are you shooting somebody in the heart every time you open your mouth?
