So today I spent the day with people who also have disabilities. In many way this is emotionally easier for me to deal with, but it doesn’t mean the physical difficulties of my disability are immediately negated.

They wanted to go somewhere that was inaccessible to me, and despite being a little upset about this, I wasn’t about to say no to them, doing what they wanted to. Though they did ask my opinion on going where they want to, but I felt like I couldn’t voice my true upset with it all.

It may seem sound self centred but I would think that they would get it, and suggest going to a place that I can’t get into. Specifically because they themselves are disabled and they have been in similar situations themselves. Bearing in mind they did know in advance, that I would not be able to go in the place before they decided to go. But it was important to them and I’m not about to stop them as I’ve said.

It’s not that I want a day to revolve around me, may have suggested hearing the situation. it is just that I would like a day to completely be accessible to me.

But unfortunately, in such an accessible world, being with other disabled people does not guarantee accessibility to the world around you. And that is just a reality that you have to learn to live with.
