This is very important...

I would literally give anything and everything to wake up from sleep feeling well rested for once

Doctors when they hear about my chronic illness but don't want to be responsible for treatment

fuck filing for disability

fuck ableist jobs

fuck the requirement to work to stay alive

fuck it all

no one should have to beg for the ability to live. no one should end their day crying because what the fuck am i going to do. no one should have to rely on ableds to have a semi-livable life.

[EDIT: when referring to relying on ableds to live, i mean relying on people who have no connection to our lives to allow us to live, i.e.. government officials, doctors who don't know/care, etc. i do NOT mean caretakers and loved ones and people who make life worth living. anyone who needs a caretaker or help from another person is so so valid and also just human.]

and sure, it may be all in vain, the rants, the raging, the tear-filled nights, but i hope it all works out for you. i hope that you find a way, even if it takes far more effort than it should. i hope one day we will be able to be disabled and also alive.

New favourite thing to do is to remind people of how much they hated lockdown when they say they wish they could stay home as much as I do.

Like no you dont you were miserable when you were forced to stay home all day everyday for the good of your health. Thats my entire existence as a disabled person so pack it in.
