The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I am not looking forward to tomorrow. A group is coming to do some work on the house tomorrow. It was supposed to happen over the summer, but with the 'rona coming out in full force, things had to be put on pause because of shut downs. I'm already starting to feel anxious. My home is the one place I know I have full sanctuary. Here I don't have to worry. I can function in a way that makes me feel 'normal'. I don't have to worry about judgement, curious looks or people just being douches. There are no worries here. I can move around freely, not feel as though I am in the way or whatever other feeling of being handicapped brings.

B.T.C (before the cripple) it was different because I was different. I could freely travel around go from place to place and not worry about things. I was fully able bodied. Now there are things I have to think about or factors in ease of functionality. Some just don't get it and it's not my problem. It's fully theirs. I had to realize that after dealing with a person that made me feel shitty because I wasn't just always out and about doing things. It took a bit of putting that worth in myself and having that moment of 'if they can't get it, fuck 'em'. I don't need to put a person with ableism in my life to make me feel like garbage. I can do that fine on my own.

Oh, the joys of life.

I learned that disability affects people, but worldly accessibility is what limits people. It is the able bodied who are responsible for changing places, situations, and cultures so that spaces are properly shared.

I hate it when people come in to my space. My home is so private. I'm sorry you're going through this.
