How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you?
And what could it relieve about me.
My instant reaction is a disabled wheelchair user, but I can’t help but wonder if I only default to that description of myself because it feels like that’s the way the rest of society sees me.
Isn’t it funny how physical descriptions of ourselves are the ones we default to?
That’s not to say it’s wrong, in fact I know it would be a factually accurate description that I’m not ashamed of using. But that’s not all there is to that, and maybe including everything else in such a description of myself is a good thing.
But I find myself so reliant, perhaps controlled, by the physical description of myself. That I’m not entirely sure of how I would describe myself without it.
I try. Maybe a trier is what I am.
