My Greatest Heartbreak

As you grow your heartbreaks change – that’s what I have realized

Today I was thinking about the evolution of my heartbreaks with age – in my teens and early 20s my greatest heartbreak would be the thought that I would never go visit Europe now my greatest heartbreak is knowing that I will most likely not give birth to or raise children (this no-children thing is breaking my heart more than possibly not visiting Europe ever could). No matter the meaningful things I do with my days at the end of each day I will get into an empty bed and no child of my own…it hurts parts of me I didn’t even know existed.

Life Is Beautiful

Live by faith and not by sight – that’s my message to the world

 I managed to pray, read Bible, spend time outside and work on my 28 For 28 Campaign benefiting charity:water  –  Anon donated  $5 we’ve now raised $3 909 of $28 000 with 67 days to go

This morning I couldn’t wait for this month to end but I’ve kind of changed my mind and realized things work out

On This Day 5 Years Ago

 Love never dies – that’s what I keep reminding myself

On this day 5 years ago my grandmother took her final breath and left me broken of heart i understood then and i understand now that it was her time but it still hurts – i miss her physical presence(even when her memories were gone she came when i called. Her heart remembered me), Rest in Peace Ammachi I carry with me the love we share I’m still a lot broken-hearted that you’re not here with me but I wouldn’t be your grandchild if I didn’t put a smile on my face and carry on

“Beautiful People” by Ed Sheeran

“Beautiful people

Drop top, designer clothes

Front row at fashion shows

“What d’you do?” And, “Who d’you know?”

Inside the world of beautiful people

Champagne and rolled-up notes

Prenups and broken homes

Surrounded, but still alone

Let’s leave the party” – Ed Sheeran ,“Beautiful People”

Recently I heard “Beautiful People” by Ed Sheeran I love it and have to share it

Through my eyes and ears

Until you’ve seen things through people’s eyes and heard things through their ears you’ll never understand – that’s what I’ve realized

Yesterday after realizing that until you’ve seen things through people’s eyes and heard things through their ears you’ll never understand I wrote the following Facebook post:

Through my eyes and ears

A stare from an adult is a reminder that to some of the world i’m still a circus-freak (i don’t see myself that way but some don’t agree)

“I’ll pray for you” = “You’re broken and need fixing”

Stairs (without an elevator/ramp as an alternative ) is my worst nightmare and greatest barrier to entry everywhere

My wheelchair = my way of getting from A to B it is NOT THE DEFINITION OF ME
