The Memoir Of Ms. Butterfly

Disability is what I have, but it’s not who I am.

It’s a shame that we are going into 2022, and we still have to fight to be seen and heard as human begins.

I have been fighting for the last 40 years to find a space in this world where I can feel like myself.

There is only one place where I feel like myself: on my blog site where I feel at home with myself.

My blog site is not the only place where I try to share myself or inspire others with my words or how I try to overcome my many limitations. 

I am sad to say, or maybe I am not sorry that those other platforms are not ready for people who might look or sound different from ordinary able body people.

The public had always made me feel like I have been ashamed of my disability because when I started using these platforms, I would never show myself in my wheelchair.

I wanted the world to read about my journey throughout life without showing pity to the girl in the wheelchair. I get enough of that when I am out public.

The world becomes even amazed when they see I could date.

One of my favorite lines that I come across is I am too beautiful to be in a wheelchair. What the fuck does that mean?
