Hey little Ian, I’m sorry we didn’t get everything we dreamed of. But don’t worry—we’re still trying. #talktokuyaian

Disability Pride Month 07-31-20: finale

[ID: 5 digital handwritten info cards with yellow backgrounds. /1: “HOW TO TREAT DISABLED PEOPLE LIKE PEOPLE (because apparently this is a guide we need)”/2: “1. Respect social boundaries /don’t stare at us /don’t ask invasive questions /e.g. “What happened?” /e.g. “What’s your [mobility aid] for?” /don’t give unsolicited advice /e.g. “Have you tried yoga?” /e.g. “If you did ____ you wouldn’t be sick!” /don’t infantalize us /don’t pity us /don’t try to sniff out ‘fakers’“ /3: “2. Respect physical boundaries /don’t grab or touch mobility aids /don’t help us without permission /we will ask if we need help /if we appear to really need help, still ask first /don’t park in handicapped spots (unless you are disabled) /don’t block ramps, paths, handrails, or elevators /get out of the way for people with mobility aids /be patient and slow down for us” /4: “3. Believe us… /when we say we’re disabled /when we tell you our limits /when we tell you we have done the best we can /when we say we don’t need your help /when we say we do need your help /when we say we know what we’re doing /BELIEVE US!” /5: “4. Stand with us /educate yourself on disability & accessibility /call out ableist statements & actions /organize locations & events to be accessible /include disabled representation in media /vote in support of disability rights /RIGHT NOW: follow social distancing guidelines as best as your situation allows. Many disabled people are high risk, and you cannot say you support us while willingly endangering our lives.” /end ID]

I am still stuck in the #NYDCaceres2025 sepanx fever. So I made these—Pueblo nin Kabootan inspired, straight from my Nabua feels.

We’re not here forever—make it count, choose happiness. 🌻

I hope one day we all look back to all our struggles in life and realise “I’m glad I never gave up”.

[talktokuyaian]

Here's to chasing dreams, defying odds, and soaring higher every day. 🌟

Just because it feels like you fit doesn’t mean it’s the right place. Choose where you truly belong. ✨

[talktokuyaian]

True greatness isn’t about ego—it’s about lifting others up.

[talktokuyaian]

Know your worth, and let it speak for itself. True value needs no push. #talktokuyaian

How to: Confidence

Hold your head high

Look others in the eye

Laugh at yourself but not at others

Smile

Stop apologizing

Good manners (please and thank you)

Dress in a way that shows you have self worth

Expect others to believe you

Expect others to like you

"Real confidence is walking into a room and assuming everyone likes you."

Fake it till you make it. Before you know it, it's no longer fake.
