“Stop treating your pain like it’s something you imagined. If you see the wound is real, then you can heal it.”— Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom
Okay, but how about being told not to “give excuses” when you were trying to genuinely explain something to your parents?
Like damn. The hopeless and defeated feelings I’d get were something else.
last thing for today but …
it’s also okay if a disabled person isn’t trying their best. abled people sure aren’t trying their best every single day! so why should we, as disabled people, be expected to? why should we have to work our asses off every day?
my fellow disabled folk: you’re allowed to give up. you’re allowed to half-ass something. you’re allowed to take breaks even when you don’t “need” them. you’re allowed to conserve your energy, no matter what anyone else says.
the fact that you’re here, surviving, is enough. I’m proud of you for making it through
You don’t have to be going through recovery and consistently getting better and more productive and stable to still be a worthy human being. You still have your rights as a person. You still have value as an individual. You are more than good enough. You still matter, wherever you are in your life. 🌱🌿🪴

Some days we try our best and still fall down a little… tomorrow is a new day to try again. 🙏🏻
