I Wonder!

  I wonder what life has in store for me I wonder what's meant to be   I long to see what's coming There's a hazy image that's forming   I wait for clarity Will my dreams turn into reality?   I'm scared, for things are uncertain There are feelings I cant contain   Despite that I say....   Oh future, show me your face Whatever you look like I shall accept with grace

I See Change!

Yes... I see the change. I observe people don't see disability as something ugly or strange anymore. The beauty of my imperfectly perfect body is now visible to the world. When you see a dress beautifully displayed on a mannequin, you can imagine how it'll look on you. But I cant! Because my body is not structured like the mannequin. Now there are places  like Switzerland that give me an opportunity to see what I could look like. A Swiss charity organization has come up with an interesting way to embrace disability. They have made mannequins of five people with different kinds of disability and displayed them on popular streets of Zurich. Ask them why they came up with this idea and they say "because who is perfect?" Living with a disability I understand the importance of increasing the visibility of the difference in people. This will help people accept a verity of disabilities and also do away with the strange staring that differently abled people often experience
