i thought if i just worked hard i could have a good life. i knew it wouldn’t be easy but i couldn’t have in a million years imagined that life would be this difficult. i’m never going to stop trying but i feel defeated

every time i lower my expectations another disability or barrier pops up. i’ve gone to my backup plan 3 times now and now i’m not physically strong enough to do it even though i’m really good at it and passionate about it. i would do manual labor if i could. i love working hard. i used to run 6 miles for fun and now i can’t even stand for a whole work day. i’m still trying but man is it heartbreaking. i could work if people cared to accommodate me but they just don’t it makes you feel worthless

i have so many abilities that could help people i just can’t make it happen by myself and i never thought this would be my reality. i thought i was going to be a dr and now being a hairstylist seems like an unattainable goal even tho i’m literally licensed. i’ll never give up but fuck this is hard

i try to remember that i’ve come a long way. at one point i was too weak to bush my teeth manually or walk. but barely being able to do anything doesn’t get you far under capitalism. your worth is your productivity and i need more help than i can give. i wanted to volunteer to give free haircuts to those in need but turns out i’m the one in need
