Well Hello there,
I'm finally back doing one of the things I love.. Blogging!! Yaaaay!
For those who don't follow me on instagram.. I'm Rae. I'm a disabled advocate, blogger, artist, fashion designer, bright colour rainbow lover, and absolute nutcase! Haha.. I've had my own blog for the past 2/3 years but this I decided I needed a fresh start. I've been struggling with my mental health recently and I needed to really anchor myself into something new to channel my self love and confidence back.
Now last year I started out a podcast project, but due to my speech declining and my vocal tics taking centre stage I realised this wasn't an option for me. Although I was including a written version of the podcast, I knew full well trying to read what I'd written for others to listen to wasn't happening.
And so.. after a lot of playing around with ideas, brainstorming and even listening to myself back reading short paragraphs.. I decided a fresh new blog was needed. And so Wait.. I'm Disabled was born. Although recording myself isn't an option yet.. I'm hoping through this new blog, I'll start to gain my confidence back and maybe one day I'll be able to post videos about my blogs. But the Hare didn't win the race and Rome certainly wasn't built in a day, so I'm very much happy to pace myself and take it one step at a time.
Now, if you read my previous blog and you follow me on social media platforms you'll know I'm very honest about life. I use humour to help me, I use art as my therapy and I channel my negative thoughts and issues into positive ones. But regardless, I say it how it is.
Being disabled isn't easy. It's a constant fight and battle after fight and battle. If it's not with our bodies, it's with other issues related to our health. Whether it's accessibility issues, or issues from our healthcare providers and systems, financial or social. It's daily!
So in my blogs I won't just be talking and sharing with you my own personal experiences, I'll be sharing you the truth and reality that most face daily. And if I can.. I'll share with you my tricks and tips to getting around some of these issues if I can! But it won't always be serious and advocacy talk I share with you.
I'll be sharing with you my world of art, fashion, jewellery making, music, my mobility aids and everything else colourful, bold and bright in my life.
Although I have literally zero self confidence and I don't always like the person I see in the mirror or in photos.. but I will always be as honest as possible. Whether good or bad. I always try to find positives out of the negatives and I love bright and bold colours.
And so through my writing and pictures, you'll see a bright colourful world filled with daily obstacles, issues and challenges.. but also my achievements, goals and best bits!
And I hope it brings you smiles, happiness, laughter but also strength and positivity to shine bright and share your own journies and stories.
Sending love, hugs, energy and spoons to all..
Rae
