#actually disabled

Dear disableds,

The difference between you and others, is that they are afraid of being uncomfortable. But not you. This is your wheelhouse. Lean in, and you will go far.

it’s humid as fuck and i live in a house designed to trap heat. bad day to have a respiratory disease

I don’t think able bodied people realize how lucky they are to live in a world surrounded by people they can relate to. They can talk to friends and family that have likely gone through similar things and actually get help. When I have a problem I don’t even go to other people anymore because I know they will 1) misunderstand me and 2) I will have to spend a ton of time and energy explaining myself- only to have them give advice that is way off base.

Literally it’s so exhausting to have to figure out everything your own, ableds don’t understand how alienating it is to never be able to discuss problems with friends when you’re going through them. It’s only when you’ve already solved a problem that you can speak without getting shitty advice you didn’t ask for, and even then you’ll just get confused and mildly horrified looks.

If I make content about disability, it’s “all I talk about” and I “should get a hobby ;(” but if I do spend time on my hobbies to make a Let’s Play or storytime vlog, I’m clearly “fine and not actually sick.” lmao what
