It has been a long time since I’ve considered cerebral palsy as anything less than a gift. I advocate for myself for what I need to live my best life now. Knowing that one day I won’t have to… I’ll be able to do whatever I want.
Sometimes, it’s a gift I do not want, but without it, I wouldn’t be who I am. I fight with and for my body every day. Two steps forward… a few more back, but I’m still better than I was yesterday and the day before that.
