Note to reader: I don’t know if this post will come across as “preaching” or not however I don’t mean it that way I just have a feeling that it could possibly open up some people’s minds to the idea and to see things in a different light which could possibly help someone. As always I am ONLY speaking about myself and my journey with my disability everyone handles their own disability differently.

Dear reader I know this might seem strange however I am posting this here because I think it might possibly make a difference for someone.

In my dream last night I was dating a famous person(I don’t really remember who it was) and they decided that they wanted to tell everyone on TV that I was their girlfriend.

I was in shock that they would be willing to put it out there that we were dating, a lot of people don’t see or understand why or how someone could love a person with a disability.

As I went on stage(I was fully just expecting to hangout backstage until the interview was over) because the man I was dating in the dream called me out I could see and hear some people in the audience were almost disgusted by the fact that he was dating someone like me(the boos and just the looks on their faces) and I told them something that I think might help you understand dear reader, If you’re at all confused about why someone would date someone who is disabled, I said:

“Close your eyes and picture the hottest person you can think of, and no, I am not saying I am hot at all and imagine that they are standing in front of you saying that they honestly want you of course you would say yes to dating them right? Now picture that very same person sitting in a chair, would you still turn them down?  All that has changed about them is that their legs don’t work if you still turned them down now that the chair is there then you really didn’t like them at all in my opinion you just liked the idea of them.”

I then said that is why and how he or anyone else can like a disabled person we are the same people inside with all the likes, dislikes, hopes, dreams, and desires as you are we just happened to in my case at least be sitting in a chair.

Dear reader I could see in the audience that some people got it and it seemed to help them understand somethings after that I woke up.

Now obviously I don’t for one second think that I will actually date a celebrity or even a semi-famous person however I do know that I will end up finding a man who will love me at some point in my life and I do know that people will have questions like they have every time that I date a “Normal walking” person I think I will use the analogy from the dream to explain it to people I know that not everyone is going to get it however as long as maybe one person does and maybe becomes at least a bit more kind and understanding then it will be worth it for me.

I hope that by having this blog some people may see that I am just like anyone else and maybe be more kind if they happen to see a person with a disability in the real world.

Thanks again dear reader for showing me with your kindness that people can and do care about me.
