Sit up that is the story of my life, right.
I understand that everyone is nervous because to have any part of your body split open is no joke.
I know how dangerous things are, but I’m fucking tired of hearing if you would have done this or that you wouldn’t be going through this.
I was born with cerebral palsy; it’s not something someone can catch.
One of the things I’m sure of is my body changes along with my disability.
No matter what I would have done, like sitting up straight, I still would have found myself with some severe back issues because I’m spending more than 18 hours a day in my wheelchair.
I take responsibility for my doing when it comes to my body.
I’m not trying to make excuses for myself.
I should have done better when it came to my body.
Maybe I should have tried to sit up straight, but the people around me will take responsibility for their part of my body falling apart.
Sit up straight.
Do this, do that.
These are things I heard all the time.
On the other side, I hear.
I am tired of helping you.
Why can’t you do this by yourself?
You should have just died, or maybe I should so you can value the things I do for you.
My body is messed up from lifting you for the last 35 years of life.
You are never going to understand how valuable I” m in your life until I’m gone.
Those are the words that I hear in my ears every day.
Take responsibility for making me feel like shit & invisible.
Like I should no longer be here.
I was hoping you could take responsibility for giving me life & me not asking for life to choose life, not me.
The blame game and guilt trip are over because I will not allow you to make me feel like it was my choice to live or die, and I chose to live to fuck up the rest of your youth.
