I’m a bit late to the party, but I saw it was disabled swiftie night and I thought I’d share my story!
During birth I got stuck, which meant the doctor had to use force to get me out. This caused nerve damage in my left arm, known as Erbs Palsy. For the first few months of my life, my arm was completely paralysed. Thankfully though, I gained strength back in my arm which meant, for the most part, my arm functions reasonably normally. As a child, half the time I forgot I even had an arm which didn’t work the same and I’m beyond lucky that the damage isn’t more extensive. I still have days where I wish I had two functioning arms, it would be handy (get it?! handy?!) but it’s also apart of who I am and my story. Love yourself and who you are. The ups, the downs, and the inbetweens all make you, you. And you are pretty fucking amazing. @taylorswift @taylornation
