TW: talk of internalized ableism
One of the weirdest feelings I've ever had is mourning myself
Mourning all the things that I can't do
Mourning the life I thought I could live
Mourning my plans for the future that I can't live anymore
And I wonder how much of this is internalized ableism
How much of this I've been taught to mourn by our culture
And how much of this is me genuinely being sad that I can't complete things the same way I thought I could
The same way people tell me I can
That I can't have the same life I thought I could before my body fucked me over
