"For years I struggled to look ‘healthy’. I made hiding my chronic illnesses and disabilities a major focus of each day.
I didn’t see how hard I was working to ease the discomfort of able-bodied minds.
I didn’t see that I was constantly posturing; fawning for acceptance and equality.
I didn’t see the ableism - both external and internalized.
I learned that if I embraced my body and accepted my disabilities; if I loved my mobility aids, my strategies to thrive, and my beautiful life as it is - I made people uncomfortable.
Because growth lies in discomfort.
Your growth.
Mine.
And when we choose to grow, change is never far behind."
