Thank you for this authentic window into your experience. As a disabled person, I resonate so deeply with what you’ve shared here. I too think it’s so unfair how we are expected to fit a certain neurotypical mold in a capitalist society to get and keep a paying job, even ones we’re good at. I long for and try to work toward a world where all are valued and where making money by fitting a very small mold is no longer the expectation. And one way to do that? Holding space for the grief, anger, and discouragement that our current system brings. So thank you again for holding that space in your words.
Naiomi! Wow! I have felt as you have, so many times, and still do, in my life and in my faith journey. I do not want to fit. I used to so much that I lost sight of my truth and how much God loves my crazy, often indiscreet, and unconventional ways of self-expression. It is okay to be angry, sad, but I am sorry you are being so hard on yourself. I just want to console you.
I will! I was trying to figure out how to private message you on here to give you my personal email. But I don't see how. I can give you my public email address though and then contact you from my private email address if that sounds good to you. Let me know.
