A person with disability is a person who adapts, improvises, and overcomes the barriers life places in their way.
For that—not because of our disability—we deserve respect.
This is what defines Disability Pride, not the pity you offer to make yourself feel important.

Sometimes opening and closing safe-lock tube lids feels like it’s personal.
I had my first symptoms before I was ten.
„Growin pains, moving too much, not moving enough, it will stop when you have children.”
Doctors said I was fine, tests were clear, physical therapy was fun. So I studied, partied, danced and sang, in pain but I was fine right? Until it all crashed.
There is that special feeling when people say you are still young, and you just smile, barely moving, exhausted and in pain.

It was one of especially bad weeks and I decided that I need an outlet. So here I am.
It was worse than usual - I overdid it at work and on Friday both hands hurt so much I couldn’t focus. Couldn’t use thumbs.
At home I sat covered in pain relief cream, with hands under hot water bottle, tv show on, thinking how much more work I have to do.
