Independence

Everyone with a disability looks for independence in many different ways.
One way I am looking for my freedom is by having my place where I can call home.
It’s hard for someone with a disability to find a place to call home because many apartments are not build up for people with different abilities.

That shows how little we matter to a world that doesn’t work except indifference from others.
No matter what the world feels or thinks, we belong just like everyone else.

Many people might think, why would you want to live on your own if you need so much help, but why wouldn’t you? I deserve the chance that everyone gets as they get older; they want to leave the nest, and I’m almost 40, so it’s time.
To leave the nest & discover newfound freedom for me.

My chair should not define my independence; I should do what my heart desires as long as I want for myself.
