One of the things that suck about having a disability is people, as a kid I used to like people. I used to say hi to everybody. As I got older I started liking people less and less.

As a person who has a disability, I found out how people are and to me it’s disturbing and discouraging how people are.

As a person with a disability advocating for yourself is important. Unfortunately, you are your best advocate, and bring your advocate you have to get done right nasty occasionally.

Hears a perfect example of how I had to get just ignorantly nasty.

I checked myself into the hospital so I could go to a Subacute unit to get my wounds worked on, right before I was getting ready to get transported to the facility I was told that I would get a private room, which is what you want as an adult(at least I do). When I get there I noticed when they said my room they used the word window, well well when you have a private room and you tell someone their room number you don’t use a window when talking about a private room. When I found that out I started yelling and swearing at the person who was in charge of assigning rooms to people. After bitching her out for about 2 minutes she gave me the private room that I was promised in the first place.

The whole point of my telling this story is to make the point that it can be very difficult to get what you need and are promised. When getting what you want or need you can’t worry about making friends, it’s the hard truth.

If you want something bad enough or you need something critical don’t be a friend be an asshole.
