Society? DAMN!!!

I was talking to an associate .... I am totally convinced that all children with disabilities until the age of 25 need psychiatric help to build the way they see themselves because so many negative people around them will demolish what any self respect and dignity they have for yourself.

I mean how can you feel beautiful when people are always asking you dumb arse questions like, "Do you pee in a diaper?" , "Why do you look like that," and "Dang, that means you can't have sex huh?" comes at you daily."

Or you know the others who stare at me like I'm Paris Hilton while I'm doing something simple like at Wal-Mart. That's society for ya. Well excuse me, this represents some people of society with no home training. I could easily be a celeb, cuz I'm treated like one now. Random people take camera pics of me walking, and point and tell their friends I'm a midget. lool. Or come up to me and ask me how old am I since I look like 16.

Back to the point. I have not met not ONE girl with the disability I have (which is mild) or more severe that does not have self-image issues. I do have a better perspective than some others I must agree. This girl told me I talk so confidently. I am so jovial most of the time and don't seem to be affected by a disability.

But behind the confidence, she told me I must realize that the disability is there. Society definately knows it's there. Therefore, I can think very highly of myself, but what it boils down to is how society thinks of you. Society wants you to live in a bubble of seperation and unhappiness. It sets boundaries and rules for you that it doesn't want you to conform. Society doesn't expect for you to get more than a high school diploma if that. Society tells you one thing such as disabled peopke have every right to live a normal life, but then gives you hell when you get up off ya *** and try to get a job or decent housing. It's just rediculous. It's just a cruel world for a girl with a disability seeking normality. By this time I had heard enough. I can't life, she makes good points, but I told her D.A.M.N society. SOCIETY Doesn't Affect My Normality (or normalacy).

Part of my line name is O.B.A.M.A. Stands for Overcoming Boundaries and Making Aspirations. (Yeah I have the best line name in the world.) Overcoming boundaries is exactly what I do, and it's a rule we should all follow. Life has no boundaries. It is only full of the boundaries you have made and suppressed yourself with.

Society can kiss my wheelchair tires. I have my slip ups, but I had to bury society a loooong time ago. It hold a person back. You should feel the same. Don't allow yourself to be a statistic. Don't let society set the "rules" of your life. Make your own statistics and rules. Go above and beyond your dreams.

Yeah it's a dream that I live in that one of these days disability advocacy will be efficient and their will be more opportunities for those who are disabled to live their lives to the fullest of their ability.

But, If you don't have a dream, how you gonna make a dream come true?
