'keep going'...

...does not mean that you cannot rest.

it means that even in the face of difficulties, giving up is not the answer. rest if you must, and then pick yourself up and keep going.

you have the strength in you. keep going ✨

Had a conversation with an able bodied neurotypical today (a group of people I had forgotten existed) about his schedule and whether or not he has daily pain and was shell shocked by how much this guy gets done and his lack of pain most days. (His only pain is soreness after basketball practice or the gym)

I’m always quick to beat myself up because other students can get all their work done in the same or less time than I get to do it, where I struggle and often fall behind. But that isn’t fair and I wouldn’t say that to other disabled people, so I shouldn’t say it to myself.

I don’t get the proper accommodations, and unmasking has led to less burn out and self destructive behavior, but it’s raised everyone’s expectations of me (everyone=ablebodied neurotypicals in my life). I know the guy I talked to would be actually destroyed by what I live with day to day, which doesn’t make him lucky for not living with it, but makes me strong for even getting close to all of my work done.

Here’s your daily reminder that you are not lazy or failing for being disabled by your disability. It’s not your fault, and there are people who understand what you’re going through and you are not alone. <3

Never give up on yourself. You are stronger than you think you are.

Me: *reading a UK legal case referencing french law*

*Flashback to my Hetalia phase*

Me: Gay.

To be a woman and feel so deeply and intensely about everything is a beautiful trait. Don’t let the world take that from you. To be able to feel emotions throughout your body, to be able to openly cry when you’re happy, sad or mad, to be able to feel the emotion you feel completely so you don’t cause trauma. To feel is to heal. To feel is to survive. You are not broken, you are living.
