day 465 : i 🖤 this beautiful thing. . it makes the world easier for me to navigate. when i'm in it, i feel confident, capable, comfortable. emphasis on that last one. . it gives me lovely wheelchair radius with people, unfortunately leads to more pity-smiles than one should ever have to endure, helps me not be self-conscious when i use the accessible stall, and come onnnn i always have a drink at my fingertips. #paralysisperks . this past weekend i was a bridesmaid at a friend's wedding that was held on the beach. IN THE SAND. . the ramp to get down to the beach was terrifying af, the sand was soft & plushy south florida sand, and i didn't see where the chair had been set for me, so i stood for the entire ceremony as well as pictures afterwards....i'm pretty sure i'm not recovered yet. 🙃 . post-wedding update : only fell once (RIP my tricep), and managed to dance. a lot. fast (kinda). . . . #wheelchairlife #tilite #wheelchair #wheelchairgirl #paraplegic #spinalcordinjury #scirecovery #wheelchairtravel #disabledandcute https://www.instagram.com/p/BoxRrJfBMhv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9gnokhxkmc9l
