not sure if this will make sense to anyone besides me but: the antidote to negativity is not positivity, its warmth

positivity tells a sad person that there is no reason to be sad. warmth asks the sad person if they want to go get some ice cream

University Life as a Person With Disabilities (General society too)

“No matter where I go, who I converse with, who I am surrounded by… I am always the last to know things. I am present, I am there in the conversation, environment but I’m really just invisible. Even if my disability is visible.” 

Accepted but not included … [Dis]connected. Surrounded by people, in the group/community/class but no matter what I do, advocate, ask for clarification… I’m still disconnected. They will never get it no matter how much I try. 

These pictures express how I feel in everyday life, in school, in the community.

As a person with disabilities, attending university or even just in general public… it’s always a challenge to prove to society that I am capable. I am a part of this community. My disability isn’t going to stop me, it’s the perception that is given and the comments that are made about the disability that is stopping me. Yet, we have to advocate for our rights, access, education, autonomy ten times harder than everyone else. Just to enjoy/get/have the simplest thing… access. 

Listen to us, the people with disabilities, when we tell you something. Don’t ignore it. Don’t be ablest. Open your mind, your eyes and learn. Be respectful.

The ultimate tragedy is when two souls share an amazing connection but meet when they aren’t yet ready for each other.
