Raise your hand if you’ve done it.

Mon, 25 Sep 2023 23:01:29 GMT

ANXIETY. Do you get it? Probably. I have days where I can literally feel the nerves in my arms quivering and my legs don’t work. As much as it’s a terrible feeling, it’s also normal and can be observed. Unpacking and unstitching, reprogramming our brains is a scary process but TRUST ME, you’re not alone on that journey.

Imagine being stuck in a metal cylinder (a plane), not even left the runway, movie not even started, with eight hours of flight ahead of you and this happens...

ABLEISM. Do you know what it means? There are multiple words surrounding social prejudice that are instantly recognisable and easily defined, but the idea of ableism and being ableist still causes some confusion.
