We are all more alike than we are different   – that’s what I keep learning :).

It’s  4 : 25 PM on day 806 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to stretch my hamstrings, brush my teeth,    practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, publish my Disability of the Day feature, practice typing with both hands,   feed myself bread and baked beans for breakfast and watch TV

Last night I watching Justin Bieber: A Worldwide Special – Oprah’s interview with Justin Bieber on her new show Oprah’s Next Chapter – I thought the whole interview was great but I particularly loved Oprah’s question to Justin do you ever get lonely and his reply to that question  of course I get lonely sometimes people might think it’s crazy that someone can feel lonely when they’re constantly surrounded by people but I can tell you from personal experience that sometimes you feel most alone when you’re with people I remember being at an event with more than a hundred people and wanting to scream I’m so lonely when I roll into a room people stare, look away and don’t give me another thought because all they see is the label of disabled that society has put on me I suspect that Justin is going through something similar where he feels like people see his label Justin Bieber: The Superstar and not Justin Bieber: The Person.  Can you find something in common with anybody because you know that we are all more alike than we are different?

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