Day 2243: Share

Share your joy, your pain and your struggle it might make someone feel less alone – that’s my message to the world.

 

It’s 10 : 23  AM on day 2243 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, have breakfast,  read Romans 15:13 and work on my  25 Smiles Campaign    –raised $8 711.04 only  $3 788.96 more to raise to reach my second goal of raising $12 500 for Smile Train before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far ).

 

Yesterday I was reminded that as uncomfortable as it might make people to see life though my eyes (and as uncomfortable as it for me to share it) it’s necessary for me to share it because they are lots of people just like me everywhere who have to claw and fight to get through life I am real and raw every day mostly for their benefit because I never want people to feel like they’re alone in their struggle it’s an awful feeling that I know too well (you have to be the person you wish you had that way your struggles have a purpose) .

 

Day 1279: Pretending no more

With age comes less of a need to pretend– that’s what I realized today.

 

It’s 12  : 06  PM on day 1279 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray,  brush my teeth,  read Job 13, publish my Disability of the Day feature,  feed myself egg with bread for breakfast and  promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – no luck yet.

 

Today I realized with age comes less of a need to pretend when I was younger I wouldn’t even admit to myself that I was not fine but now even though I’m still not likely to burden people with my problems I can freely admit to myself that I am not fine. Are you wasting your time putting up a front?
