A woman that I love more than life once told me, “Disability is really just a measure of time.” With time, all of us will be different than we are right now. In sickness, we all become time travelers. “Disability is just time working differently on the body.” At a certain point in time, we all will have to consider what we can no longer do. Some of us just reconcile with this earlier.

“I wanted to hold everything in place with my thin little arm and weak spirit. I wanted to do what I could with my unreliable body to try and deal with the many scary things that were going to start happening from now on. I wanted to try.”

#I have a kiddie pool at home she won’t jump into #at the dog park when I’m in a rental though? of course she will ! #valentine was officially adopted today #and into a family with even more than my wish list— a doggy older sister + 3 kitty sibs + a teenager in love with her already #she will have so much fun and attention and far more than I could’ve offered her #I’m still disappointed by #my household and support system despite them for real for real not once signing up for it — I get that I’m the I’m the bad guy #but wanting to be part of a family that offers and gives isn’t a bad thing and that’s really what killed me #so idk i can’t really walk back my outburst even if on paper it seems like I made a huge deal out of nothing #which is usually how it goes for me— it ~do be that deep~ sometimes

when I see something dated 2019 I think “oh that’s not too long ago” and then I remember that 2019 was not only five years ago but those five years have somehow contained several lifetimes
