Day 580

Leave a reply

See the world as it truly is but NEVER accept that it cannot be changed– that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 5: 01 PM on day 580 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to feed myself Appam and chicken curry  for breakfast, drink tea by myself, prepare and  publish my Disability of the Day feature, publish my Kid of the Week feature and promote my I Am Disabled Campaign.

I dedicated most of the day to promoting my I Am Disabled Campaign (I know I know I should’ve been practicing how to eat with a fork or something but it’s the weekend my mother’s home and she insists on helping me do things –  I think she thinks she’s failing me as a mother if she doesn’t help even though I’ve told her on numerous occasions that the opposite is true –  so ticking  things off my list on weekends is out of the question)  unfortunately more people ignored me than not but it’s okay I’m used to being ignored I’ll just keep plowing through people’s closed ears and hardened hearts because I truly believe that God gave me Cerebral Palsy so I can make the world a less ignorant place. Have you given up on the world?

Day 568

If we are all the same then it won’t matter what we are – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 5: 27 PM on day 568 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to prepare and  publish my Disability of the Day feature,  work, feed myself vegetable burger  for breakfast,  drink tea by myself, continue reading Mockingjay  – the third book in The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins – watch TV, feed myself rice and curry  for lunch and watch some more TV.

I believe that if we make people understand that we are all the same discrimination would be a thing of the past which is why I went with the ‘I Am Disabled’ campaign idea that popped into my head this morning – the idea behind the campaign is to make people realize that we are all “disabled” (we all have things we wish we could do  but can’t) thus making none of us “disabled” – if you wish to participate in ‘I Am Disabled’ write a blog post  about  ‘I Am Disabled’ telling the world what your “disability” is and link to your post below or tweet/Facebook me your answer to the following question: What do you wish you could do but can’t? (Note: If you’re sending your answer to me via Twitter be sure to attach #IAmDisabled at the end of your tweet). Have you somehow managed to show the world that we are more alike than we are different?
