Especially the line “Really, I’m trying to figure out whether there’s a way of writing about this that isn’t startling, because I think more of us have found ourselves here than we’ll perhaps admit to.”

This really resonated with me. Thank you.

None of us are fit enough to determine deservingness; but we should all have enough heart and humanity to consider need.
Obsessing over deservingness instead of caring about need is a quick way to empty the soul.

Something about rejecting the Faster, Easier, Cheaper of capitalism. About having a relationship with our material world. About valuing the resources we take from our environment. About how we spend our time. About outsourcing everything creative in our lives. About imagination and play and skill...

With every breath, disabled people write a disabled future, one in which we all belong, regardless of the circumstances of our births or the collisions of our fragile flesh with a harsh and sometimes toxic earth.

I miss her so much.

I miss our routines.

I miss waking up each morning listening for her sounds downstairs.

I miss the way she smiled and the way she frowned.

I miss her joy at being alive.

I miss giving her a kiss on the forehead.

I miss the way she relied on me like no one else.

I recommend creating simple routines around the necessities (e.g. eating, movement, hygiene, etc) and boundaries around distractions (e.g. communication, media consumption, etc). Then, let the rest flow as it will.
