After many years of bullying, self-hatred and self-harm I reached that numb sensation of not caring any more, what people think of me. I have bigger issues than that and while I might not be insecure about them I am bitter.
While it helps some people, I greatly dislike those motivational words and posters. We all know them. The higher-class, good-looking able bodied and able minded rich people who never had to worry about a thing in their lives telling you about how life gets better and 'the only disability in life is yourself'.
Life doesn't just get better. No fairy godmother is going to reach down and make my life a fairy tale. While it might not be the best metaphor, but it has taught me allot. I was born with a denigrative muscle disease, which comes with pain and less and less strength in my legs. As much as it sucks it is the simple truth of life and even if I will one day end up in that wheelchair it isn'ttoday!
