ok you know what I am officially sick of? - all these “inspirational” stories and anecdotes about disabled or chronically ill people still kicking ass and taking names.. like the one story that keeps going across my dash about the woman with breast cancer but she “didn’t let it stop her” .. well guess fucking what. It’s okay if a sickness stops you: sometimes it happens. It’s okay if you can’t get out of bed because of your illness: you’re still amazing. We don’t often hear enough about people whose superpower is surviving, but that’s what a lot of us have to do .. just focus on surviving. We take each day as it comes and sometimes, just taking a walk around the block is a big fucking deal. Don’t underestimate someone else’s struggle. Don’t expect a person to live up to anyone else’s ideals. Just stop. If someone needs to take a break, let them. If someone needs to cancel plans because of their illness or disability, let them. Stop giving them crap and comparing them to other people who have more spoons.

Medicine, law, business, engineering: these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love… these are what we stay alive for.

John Keating, Dead Poets Society (via la-utopia)

“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.” -Frida Kahlo
