Its #NationalWheelchairDay! 👩🏼🦽 Im so thankful for my wheelchair, yet an inanimate object gets such bad press! 🤯 Ive seen people literally create social media accounts about different kinds of chairs, people buy & sell all kinds, if you bought an armchair with a recliner, or one that lifts up to help you out of it, would it be bad? If you bought an office chair with wheels to make it easier to move around the office, would it be bad? If you bought outdoor chairs to cope with weathering, would it be bad? No, it would all be HELPFUL. So why is a wheelchair seen as bad, tragic or pitiful?🤔 🦽 My wheelchair is independence, my wheelchair is helpful, my wheelchair is part of my body. My wheelchair is the reason i can drive, is the reason I can leave my bed, my home, the reason I can go and experience such fun and incredible things, the reason I can work, the reason I can go out and see people, its not a tragedy, its not pitiful & its not bad. By considering a wheelchair as bad, by extension you are saying that my life, and I am also bad & someone to be pitied. I refuse to be seen as anything other than amazing, and my wheelchair deserves that same respect.💖 _________________________ #Wheelchair #WheelchairDay #disability #disabled #disney #lovebirds #parakeets #parakeetsofinstagram #paradisepark #wildlife #paradiseparkcornwall #birds #birdsofinstagram #primark #mickey #mickeymouse #disneyfashion #disneyoutfit #disabledselfie #disabledlife #disabledisnotabadthing #disabledisnotabadword #stoppitying #notyourtragedy #ableism #ableists #chairs #furniture #notbad (at Paradise Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL4iYcgFZah/?igshid=9a3s2m27yu9f
