That Feeling in Crowds

You know one of the things I dislike about airports is that there is always lines. On the bright side I do not have to “stand” in the line. SO it is really the able bodied people who suffer most.
Maybe it is because I feel stared at. There is 200 people standing in this line, […]

But it still […]

Optimism

The hardest thing initially was staying positive. I felt ruined like my life was over. In fact, part of it was. I cant run anymore. I wont be playing hockey. Running up and down stairs is done with.
But once I got over feeling sorry for myself, I realized there much more that I can still […]

Post One

I am an active person, literally and figuratively. I mean I am active in the wheelchair community, but yeah, consequently, I am not active in the  “I play football” sense of the word. Basically, my legs dont work, but the rest of me does.
I always feel like people stare, I am sure its just me […]
