It has taken me almost my entire life to truly embrace and love the body that God has given me. 💙 In college, I remember standing in front of a full-body mirror and taking a long, hard look at myself. It was in that moment that I began to realize the importance of being in tune with who I am and how I shine, not just to myself but also to others. I realized that physical differences are insignificant compared to the essence of who we are as individuals and how we treat those around us.
While I can’t fully describe the daily challenges I face, I have learned to prioritize myself above all else. If my feet are planted firmly on the ground, only then can I extend a helping hand to others. Self-love isn’t selfish; it’s the foundation from which we can build a life of purpose and compassion.
Each one of us chooses who we are before we even step foot on this Earth. It’s a remarkable gift, a blank canvas awaiting our brushstrokes. It’s up to us to uncover our purpose, to discover the reasons why we are here. Sometimes I wish that I could wake up and have normal body functions, but then I realize that I would not be who I am, without all of the adaptations that I’ve had to learn throughout the course of discovering my true self. I hope that other individuals are able to find the same love that I have, because then the right people will start to surround you. 😍 #disabilitylife ♿️
