It has manifested differently throughout my life, I have felt differently about it in various stages of my life, and people have treated me differently my whole life because of it.

Now, I\u2019m an adult (or so they tell me), and soon I will have spent more of my life with a wheelchair than without one. It\u2019s funny\u2014as my disability became more pronounced, I became more comfortable with it. That has been my journey.<\/div>\n<div>Now I want to bring others on that journey. I want to bring you on that journey. My disability is not all of me, but I would not be who I am without it. It\u2019s not bad. It\u2019s different. It\u2019s notable. In fact, it\u2019s even\u2026no, could it be? Dare I say it? Beautiful.<\/div>\n<div>What is beauty, but the quality that beholders\u2019 minds decide? Behold me.
