I can’t write!

(a poem)

I can’t write when I’m angry

I can’t write when I’m tried

I can’t write when I’m happy

I can’t write when I’m uninspired

I can’t write when I’m cold

I can’t write when I’m hot

I can’t write when I’m excited

I can’t write when I’m not

I can’t write when I’m out

I can’t write when I’m at home

I can’t write when people are around

I can’t write when I’m alone

I can’t write, I can’t write!

Will I ever write again?

If the words will just appear

Will someone tell me WHEN

Well written and worth the read. We can learn so much from people like @evanb_y who are willing to share their story.

People with invisible disabilities like me are routinely disbelieved — and it can have long-lasting effects https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-11-30/invisible-disabilities-routinely-disbelieved/101420680?utm_campaign=abc_news_web&utm_content=twitter&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_source=abc_news_web via @ABCaustralia

I’m in news nerd heaven! I’m working at @ABCthedrum for the week for #IDPWD. As a little girl, while all of my friends would be watching cartoons, I would be watching 7:30 Report with Kerry O’Brian. /1

Looking forward to hanging out with the @abcnews breakfast crew tomorrow morning around 7.40am… talking Disability pride, international day of people with disability, and my own journey to loving my body as it is ❤️
