I am not “strong” because I am in a chair, I might consider myself to be strong if I had somehow been given the option to be in the chair for some reason(so someone else wouldn’t have to be in one) then I picked it. However I had NO choice to have CP or not it happened at my birth(brain bleed) this is the only thing I have known for my 27 years on Earth.To me there is nothing “Strong” about doing something you have no choice in.

My attitude and how I handle myself not being poor me all the time, (yes I do have down moments we all do), not being a bitch to people just because I am mad they can walk when I can’t(I never have seen the point to that one myself), and not wanting/letting my chair define me as a person yes give me congrats on those things if you wish to because they are active choices I’ve made.
