Tons and tons of love and good vibes to you, friend <3 Don’t be a stranger!

I’ll have to put it on my list, then! I appreciate you bringing up to me!

I don’t know, ideally it would be “doing something because it’s just something we want to do and adapting things so that we can do it.” In that regard, the disability is just something to work with rather than a motive.

Perhaps I should give the movie a chance? I mean, are there redemptive qualities to it? Particularly poignant moments? A movie can be problematic in one way, but enriching in another, so I’m not trying to be exclusively negative about it.

I got mad about this a while ago, but I had pressing deadlines for other things, so here I am, a solid week late to the party. Oh well.

As a companion piece to a previous video from about 6 months ago regarding adaptive exercise, fellow tumblee @cavemanbowyer has offered up some tips on dieting and weight loss when you’ve got a physical disability that prevents or obstructs exercise, but you’d still like to shed some pounds.

I probably said something offensive somewhere in here, but hey, this makes no flipping sense to me.

I'm not gonna lie, it feels really good to have someone. It helps, big picture wise, to have someone that genuinely enjoys you, finds you attractive, wants to be with you, etc. But the irrational part of your brain, the part that's been nourished by strict social standards, the part that creates the insecurities, it still exists. That's a demon only you can fight. My boyfriend could tell me I'm beautiful every single hour of the day but that won't stop me from looking in the mirror like I did this morning and not much liking my round cheeks or wishing I was a little taller and more elegant. Some days, even my favorite green eyes look especially dull.Having a significant other is marvelous, I would highly recommend it: but NOT for the sole purpose of helping with insecurities. Because when my boyfriend tells me my green eyes are beautiful, he's not determining some essential truth about myself, he's telling me something about him. It's up to me to decide whether or not I own the beautiful green eyes as an intrinsic truth.You're still you, made up of the same matter as always, regardless of who or whether you're dating. The insecurities don't really vanish.They do cower, though.Just don't, under any circumstance, let a potential partner make you feel like they're doing you a favor for dating you despite your disability. But if you feel like that's the dynamic, bring it up, because insecurities will convince you of nutty things.Idk if that answers the question properly, I'm new at all this myself.

The thought had honestly never crossed my mind. I’m also very bad at asking people for money and know maybe one person that has any disposable income.

Self-explanatory. Platform change to YouTube. Also, one of the happiest videos on here so far and it gets 100x cuter than this, but I thought I should ease people in...
