Get to know my one of a kind life

Hello!

I wanted to start off my first blog with you getting to know me briefly. My life has been a rollercoaster since the moment I was born. Unlike the majority of society, I was born with a disability called Cerebral Palsy. Since the moment I came out from my mother's womb, I was fighting for my life, literally. The thing that we all for granted, left me with a disability. I lacked oxygen, a simple yet very important chemical element needed for life to blossom. Doctors had really low expectations for me; they said that I was going to be bedridden and the only way I was going to be able to eat was by a feeding tube. With the help of my parents, I have proved the doctors wrong from every doubt they had of me. I'm a very recent college graduate, I have my own apartment in a beautiful city, and I'm even engaged to my partner of almost 3 years! I love life, I love the idea of living a life of pure realness and grace. But that doesn't mean that my life has been all sunshine, I have had pretty dark storms that lasted quite a while. Even though the people I surround myself are amazing, I have to deal with society looking down on me most of the time. Always having to prove myself and my competence to able-bodied people is tiring. But I'm a firm believer in "everything happens for a reason". I have been to hell more than once but I refused to give up because life is too precious. Throughout my life experiences, I have learned that good things, take time. I invite you, no matter who you are, to read my upcoming blogs posts to learn more about my life experiences, my romantic life, the struggles of being in a wheelchair with a speech impediment, family, friends, crazy stories, harilious stories and more!

Keep on smiling!
