Ok, I'll admit i'm pretty weird psychologically but through life and it's many offerings have realized why my disability makes me try so hard. Here's why and I encourage you to add your thoughts.

Me being disabled doesn't present a problem for who people know who I am, it is only a problem for people who don't know what I can become. To people who know who I am, what I become is just me. To people who don't, I've already become that guy in a chair... To them I salute for the added privledge of daily challanges and momentary gasps of reason..

Forget the chair for a mo, are you happy the person that you are? you always come across very confidant and outspoken (which is good) are you happy inside? What is it that you are capable of becoming? just take no notice if this is a little bit personal.

Of course i'm happy. Any you asking what am i capable of becoming means you're aware there's more to me than meets the eye. Just being philosophical and showing different sides..

I think theres more to all of us than meets the eye thus making each and everyone of us unique!! Ive always looked a bit further than the front garden if you know what i mean. Anyway tis good your happy, oh and your poetry tis good.....Ta-ra-abit

See, none of my coworkers see my chair. But I tell them they do cause they complain on their own time in stores, reastraunts and wherever that if I were there i couldn't get around. They too see who I am. I brought up this topic cause I've interviewed for 4 new jobs (i have very nice job) that require extremely specialized skills and though probably the best qualified, I hear "you were #2". Not sad about it because I know better and the other truth is that in the Government there are less than 25 out of 1+million who are as high or higher than I'm applying for. So during the interview I a blunt, brutally honest, and don't hold back because:
UNLESS I GIVE THEM SOMETHING ELSE TO REMEMBER, WHAT WILL THEY REMEMBER ME FOR?

I guess it boils down to a line from Eminem:
"Don't you ever let it go cause...You only get 1 shot to blow"

With your friends and family you can't blow it. But with newbies *especially during interviews) you can. Don't let them see who you are cause that's why you've made there, show them what you can become.

Rambling on I know...

Awakening:
When you awake in the morning, do you see yourself in the world? Or the world in yourself. Or perhaps you awaken every moment to see both. Awakening is seeing
both the world and yourself intertwined.

Scary Thought
If everyone were like me,, then, I wouldn't exist. If everyone were like you,, then, you wouldn't either... What's scarier, everyone being the same, or me not existing?,, Perhaps the mirror will answer that question. I don't need a mirror to tell me. Do you? hehehe hahaha I've lost it..........

Perhaps you are who you are expected to be by those who see you each day. But for those who do not, you become their expected person because you pull out of them their inadequacies of being the person they want to be.
