You - Yellow, My Favorite color, sunshine, warmth, a streak of fear, not being strong enough for life with me, spew, slowly feeling better - Yellow - the smiley face.

We are all Spirits living in a physical world. We have no input to how, where, when, to whom or in what body we are born. We all must make the best of what we’re given. The most important person who ever existed was born in a barn to poor parents and met death at only 33. Be kind to one another because we all travel this lonely road for a just short time and Kindness is the jewel we find along the rocky way.
I’ve posted here once before, but I don’t think I really got my point across because I didn’t think much of it when I submitted last time, but there’s a lot of people out there who need to hear this.
As you can see, a couple of these pictures are quite embarrassing, but I don’t care anymore, It’s me. I’m Emily. I have a disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2, so my muscles are weak and I’m confined to a wheelchair. I’ve been made fun of, I’ve been put down, but more than that, I’ve been told I’m “beautiful”. I never believed it for a second. Especially because it’s true, only your grandma tells you that, she has to. I never thought I’d be accepted by people my age. I cut my body out of pictures and left my face in, so I’d be ‘normal’ to people who didn’t know me, and to be honest it worked, I was accepted a little more, but I wasn’t happy. I learned to just ignore my image completely and stop caring. It felt better, but if someone asked I still thought I was ugly. I’ve been through a lot in my life though and my body has let me down through it all, but it’s never been much of a problem. I may look a little different, and it may have taken me far too long to realize it, but I finally have. I’m beautiful because I’m God’s creation, metal and all.
Stop hating your body. It may not be what you want, but it doesn’t matter. I’ve been through more than you can imagine, and it’s not even because of my body, so don’t think those super models have it all together. People sometimes look at me and think ‘Aww, she’s in a wheelchair, I feel so bad for her,’ when what they should be saying is ‘Aww, she lives in a broken home and strives to keep her faith up while dealing with depression and suicidal tendencies, that have nothing to do with her being crippled.’ What you look like on the outside doesn’t matter, and although you may have to keep convincing yourself it, you are beautiful.Keep fighting.
I’m always here if anyone needs someone to talk to, I love to help.i seriously can’t believe this is still going around.
