If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?

I spend a lot of my life apologies for things that someone doesn’t need to apologise for. Sometimes it’s just for existing as me.

It’s definitely some form of internalised ableism that I haven’t managed to let go of just yet. At this point in my life I’m not sure if I ever will.

But I know that I should. Logically I know I need to stop apologising for just being. But knowing something and doing something can be two different things.

So not being able to say it would probably help me in the long run.
