Shout out to the disabled people making progress that no one recognizes because it’s not what society considers to be “impressive” or “commendable”
Shoutout to all the disabled people who are managing to get out of bed for the first time in months.
Shoutout to the disabled people who made their own meals today.
Shoutout to the disabled people who are going back to school/ work.
Shoutout to the disabled people who went grocery shopping.
Shoutout to the disabled people who drove themselves around.
Shoutout to the disabled people who managed public transport.
Shoutout to the disabled people who accomplished any or all of the things they wanted to today.
And a big shoutout to the disabled people who didn’t do any of these things bc they finally gathered the strength to say no and listen to their limits.
Your accomplishments are worthy. Your life is worthy. YOU are worthy. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise because you aren’t “productive” according to society’s standards.
