Just me and one of my best friends, my cane. Isn& #39;t it a beauty? I figured if I& #39;m going to need mobility aids at age I didn& #39;t want them to just be something that looks like everyone else& #39;s, where& #39;s the fun in that?I& #39;m always using a mobility aid be it my cane,my walker or my chair

) I get a lot of comments about if I really need them, if it& #39;s just for fashion, if people can touch them or try them out. My aids are am extension of me, they give me a freedom I wouldn& #39;t be able to have without them. Most days if not everyday I can& #39;t do things without them

I& #39;m tired of being self conscious about things I can& #39;t control, I& #39;m tired of wanting to pretend to be "normal"/healthy just to make people more comfortable. I& #39;m just tired of the mask, it& #39;s time to start taking it off.
I love this photo @Josh_Esan got a few weeks ago.
