The Memoir Of Ms. Butterfly

Saying that she doesn’t care about me would be very unfair because I have seen with my own eyes what she has given up for me.

I have to be honest with myself and her. She has made me feel like I can’t get anything done for myself if she is not by my side.

That’s far from the truth because I believe in myself like I would love for her to believe in me.

For once, I don’t want her to see my chair or my physical limitations; I need her to see me as a person first.

As a person, I know right from wrong, and I also know that life is not easy for anyone to live, but it’s extra challenging because of my disability.

I understand that I am not considered typical for many people out in the real world. & I shouldn’t want my independence from my family, but I guess what I have struggled with most in life is not being seen or heard by the person who has had the strength to bring me into this crazy world.

I have always accepted the unexpected from strangers, but my mom is strict because I have seen her push my other siblings to want a better life.

As much as my disability plays such a big part in my day-to-day life, I would one day look behind me & see her push me to succeed in my own life & become that independent woman striving to be.

My limitations need to stop being seen as a life sentence and my motivation to show myself that anything is possible as long as I believe in who I am.
