We are more alike than we are different–that’s what I keep learning 🙂

It’s 2  : 04  PM on day 1033 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to stretch my hamstrings, pray,  brush my teeth,  feed myself  All Bran Flakes for breakfast, take off my dirty hoodie and t-shirt and put a clean t-shirt on,     read Joshua 16, publish my Disability of the Day feature and  tweet and Facebook about my campaign – the site is temporarily down for some reason I’m sure NFS will fix it ASAP I emailed them about it (Update: The site is up and running again).

Yesterday watching The Twins Who Share A Body – a documentary about two sisters, Abby and Brittany, who share one body – I realized once again that we are all more alike than we are different in the documentary Abby and Brittany share with us that people take pictures of them without permission or stare at them blatantly I could relate to that I remember being at the Trivandrum Airport coming back from India to South Africa and this guy asking my parents if he could take a picture of me holding some roses I was so offended that he asked my parents and not me if he could take a picture of me when you’re different people tend to treat you like a thing and not a person it hurts.
