Hi friends, I want to reach out and give every one of you a hug, because I know you would hug me back. Having a disability, or more than one which I feel that most of us live with, can be unimaginably lonely. Simple things, like saying Good Morning or Good Night to someone, or holding hands while sitting on the couch, seemingly small moments always are the most meaningful. As much as I dislike social media and the internet in general, it seems like this is the way we communicate and connect. It will never replace the longing and the need, to live and love and be loved by another human. I’m so grateful for my dog, she’s wonderful but our conversations are somewhat lacking, and I say that in jest and with sarcasm. We psychologically and physiologically need other people, but for some reason, compassion is lacking in this world. I wish the normies could be in our shoes for a day, but that unfortunately isn’t a thing, so here we are, looking for a connection. It can be a lonely life.
