My life isn’t always easy. Life isn’t easy period, but mine gets complicated. Especially the explaining. Being handicapped you have to tell everybody who comes up to you whether it being a kid or an adult about why your hands are a certain way? Where’s your legs? and the most common question I get mostly from kids, “What happened to her?” Picture a five year old saying that and you can not help yourself and smile. Sometimes the questions can drive people crazy. I don’t like explaining because it makes me feel weird. I’m sure I’m not alone there either.
Parents and gaurdians have it rough too. They usually don’t show it. Because they have enough guts to take care of us when lots of people like me get sent to foster homes and places I don’t want to go into. Physically and mentally. To handicapped family members things seem a bit complicated sometimes to explain especially if their parents of a young disabled child. Lots of jealousy will show when they’re around average kids their age. During their teenage years, same thing. Sports and dating is what comes to mind during these years. Handicapped kids can’t do normal sports, or I should say people don’t want us doing normal sports. We have a greater chance of getting hurt. Dating depends who and confidence in themselves. Which family members need to be on hand for the bad days.
So with this whole thing, a documentary that I think everyone should see is anything about a handicapped person. It gives an average person or kid a sense of inspiration. Our life isn’t easy. Nobody’s life is perfect nor easy. So everybody should see their life in a different perpective. It might change your views about us and the people who raise us. But this is just my opinion, but I’ve been right before so I think it would be good for everyone since it’s kind of hard to make everybody in the world handicapped in some sort of way. I’d always like to take all the people who thinks it’s cool to act like us as a joke and actually make them like the person they were acting like for a week. I’m a bitch, who cares? If you’ve lived my life or my parents lives then you can’t say shit about anything.
