I spend many days trying to make sure I am inclusive and accommodating to different needs. However, I realize I am only human, I make mistakes. I try to use those mistakes to learn and do better in the future.
You see, I need others to know what I am going through or feeling in order to progress, grow and heal. I think and overthink, and think again, and then talk about my thoughts, write them, draw them.
Not everyone has the same needs I do. I had a slip of ableism and assumed someone important to me might need the same processes I use to heal. I shared someone else’s challenges with the intentions of helping them.
Only to remember, shortly after, that they process differently. I wish I could take it back, and let the person process their own way.
But I can no. take it back, I can only apologize and try to do better.
this is me
