2009 vs 2019
A lot can change in 10 years. Sometimes I miss her so much. Ohhh, what I could do then...but then again, ohhh what I can do now. I’ve seen and done so much. I’ve tried things I never imagined. I’ve done some crazy shit. I’ve lived as my body dies. I regret nothing.
Change is inevitable. It’s best for us to learn how to adapt and ride the waves of uncertainty. Life is not meant to bend to us yet in our humbleness we must bend to it or perish. In the 2009 pic (left) I was using a cane and leg braces. You can’t see because I’m hiding my cane behind my leg and only wore pants. Even though I was a public advocate by this point, I still did my best to physically hide who I was. Don’t do this to yourself. Don’t hide who you are.
My podcast interview came out last Friday! Give it a listen and feel free to share. I share about traveling in a wheelchair, using art to document my progression towards complete quadriplegia, disability and life philosophies.
Podcast available here and in iTunes, Spotify or Soundcloud.
