Are you holding a grudge? About?

Let me explain.

I’m disabled. But I live in a world where depending who someone is they will hold me to the standard of a non disabled person or a disabled person, sometimes interchangeably.

When people can’t decide whether you should or shouldn’t be treated as a ‘normal’ person, what they expect from you can often contradict.

On one hand they can expect you to get a job. On the other hand making a phone call can be a step to far for there ideas of your abilities.

All of this while remembering that the world is inaccessibility to me in many ways. So just because I want to do something doesn’t mean I can, and that is not my fault.

It can be hard to figure out what you want to achieve, what you should push yourself to try to achieve, and in all honestly just who you are.

We need to stop seeing disabled people as different, as less than non disabled people. The world is hard enough to navigate, without me having to try to decide if I want to try to prove I’m normal or not.
