Last year I lost one of my best friends. We spoke a lot about how we thought we would be if we didn’t have disabilities.

Now it has me thinking, would I be the sort of person that goes out partying every weekend? No, I don’t think I would be.

I think I would be an outdoorsy person that likes to be in the fresh air and nature, with the right amount of alone time and being around family and friends.

I would like to think that I would be the sort of person that would try new things and try and push myself outside of my comfort zone. I would like to do a few more things that are spur of the moment, not planned trips, and days out to new places, etcetera.

A small FYI, I am not writing this to make people feel sorry for me. My disability is part of me, I have accepted it and got on with it. Having my disability has helped me become the young woman I am today.

So you’re probably wondering if I would change it if I could and the answer would be no, I don’t think I would.

I am very lucky to be who I am and the way I am with the family and support network I have. I love them all!
