Simple, Right?

 

Sometimes the mystery is that I’m not weirder or less confident, given the contradictory nest of cultural stereotypes I pick through in the course of my life(I probably would be really broken if they all played out every day, but luckily they don’t.

Still, what could be simpler than being:
A special sign of some kind of spiritual favor(or at least very deep, because she uses her brain for other things besides making money or getting laid) but who’s also a burden who doesn’tcontribute.

Someone who really needs to stop making a big deal about this ableism thing(Gratitude helps!1) but someone who messes up the baby shower by suggesting anything about the blessed event might not be regulation.

Someone whose reality is “too depressing” and also “doesn’t understand how life works”

Someone who always needs to try harder, even though strangers on the street are convinced her life is impossible.

Left out at age 10: A central tragedy that’s the one instance of discrimination that white abled people can stand to hear about.

Left out at age 30: You still on that?
