your powerchair does not take up too much space!

Powerchairs can easily be snazzy or beautiful or cool colours. People who use powerchairs are not taking up too much space. you don't need to be smaller or tucked out of the way for others' convenience. Powerchairs can do so much that manual chairs can't (even with a power assist) and that's a good thing! So many people are supported by their powerchairs, and the world has been changed many times by someone living their life using a powerchair.

It will never be a bad thing for disabled people to have access to their homes and their communities. Using a powerchair isn't a "lesser option" to a manual chair, it isn't "giving up", and it is never taking up too much space. You're taking up exactly as much space as belongs to you already. It's great to see you around 😊

this blog loves all the mobility equipment disabled people may need, and I think people using group 3/CRT powerchairs don't get enough positivity about their mobility aids.

What a privilege it is to get old.

What a privilege it is to show signs of aging.

What a privilege it is to not have passed at a young age.

What a privilege it is to have smile lines, wrinkles, graying hair, healing scars, and other signs your body has lived for years.

What a privilege it is to get old.

Things that sounds silly, but helped me with my body image, and yes several sounds weird and feels weird at first:

🌸Get a journal. Write 3-5 positive things down everyday, and yes some of them has to be related to how you look. If positive things is a bit too much, go for reminders like “I deserve to exist just the way I am”.

🌸Wear stuff that makes you happy. If it brings you joy, wear it. It doesn’t matter if someone else would go “Umm, that’s not really for your body type”. A big “shh” to them and a big cheer for you for not listening.

🌸Put on some good music and dance in your underwear. Especially if you’re standing in the bathroom and are tempted to say mean things to yourself. Dance instead.

🌸Avoid diet talk. Avoid negative body talk. No more bonding with other people about what you hate about your body. That is contagious. And please remember this: If you happen to find yourself in such coversation and cannot change the topic, and you the following days are feeling way worse about your body? All that came from that conversation. That doesn’t really change how you feel, but it explains where it came from and that might help.

🌸Follow a diverse set of people with different bodies on social media.

🌸Remember that there are people who profit of you hating how you look. They will straight up tell you something is wrong and then tell you how to fix it, just to make a profit.

🌸Take a photo on days where you feel good for whatever reason. You can look at those, if you have been having good days and then gotten into some bad ones.

Change is possible. Growth is not fast or linear but a better life is within reach.

One of the most dangerous things in the world is not being able to say no to people because you don't want to upset them or dissapoint them. This will completely ruin your life in every way possible, at work, in your private life, your sex life and your friendships. It's a way of removing your own consent in your own decisions and go against your wishes, it is always a crime against yourself. Let yourself have a say. Upsetting people is better than traumatizing yourself.

Reminder that you're actually interesting. Your hobbies are interesting, your interests are interesting, you are important and loveable and people appreciate you. You're just a loveable, interesting person.
