Cyril controls more than I wish it did, but I’m trying.

If humans had taglines, what would yours be?

If I tell you that Cyril is the name I use to describe my cerebral palsy, this tagline should make sense.

Naming my cerebral palsy helped me to separate it from myself, and find who I am outside of my disability. But I still often feel trapped by my disability, though I’m trying to make the best of my life.

It’s hard living your life knowing that you will never get to live the life you feel like you should have had, and knowing there’s nothing I can do to get that life.

If I’m being completely honest with myself, I feel like my disability robbed me of a better life. And logically that’s just sad.

Sometimes all you can do in life is the best you can do, and that has to be enough, I guess.
