I’ve talked a bit on here about positivity and how constant positivity and smiling faces are a lie. That’s still all true. I can’t be positive one hundred percent of the time. It’s unfair to be asked that society asks such a thing. Plus, constant positivity is not truthful. It’s not real. I’ve had plenty… Continue reading Greatest Expectations

Impossibility
I've talked a bit about this before but today will be more detail about how it’s impossible to expect help from total strangers, being disabled. In the past, I've said it's because I was never afforded the particular luxury, assuming someone non-disabled will help me. That's still true — it’s practically nonexistent. In fact, it's… Continue reading Impossibility
Relax. Rest. Repeat.
Me laying and resting on a colorful blue, white, red, and yellow hammock in El Combate, Puerto Rico I want to talk about rest. Why? Because it's not talked about enough.

I've come across it many times on social media, particularly both Twitter and Instagram. What does it mean? Well, interabled is used to… Continue reading What Did You Call It?
Letting Go of CP For Just One Day
I'd like to attempt to talk about something that's been kind of hard for me to articulate and discuss. There's no way to go around it other than by being as honest as possible, so here goes. In the past, I've admitted if there were some cosmic loophole or possibility to not have CP, even… Continue reading Letting Go of CP For Just One Day
