My name is Nic, I'm 26 and just happen to have Cerebral Palsy that I've had since birth. It mostly impacts on my legs and my left arm and so I use a walking frame. When I'm not blogging I can usually be found making YouTube videos, reading or trying to write a novel.
Things younger me would be amazed at
Just lately I’ve been aware that this blog hasn’t been as positive as I like it to be. The fact that I feel like this has been causing me a lot of anxiety and keeping me awake at night. Yeah, I know this is silly cause you guys probably don’t mind, but, hey ho.
To combat this, I feel like I should take a couple of minutes to think about all the good things I’m achieving right now. Younger me would be amazed by most of them.

Why I don’t think it’s a shame I’m disabled, although I understand people mean well when they say it.
Thoughts on getting a new walking frame
My physio has ordered me a new nimbo walking frame. I’ve had my current one Martha for over two years now and after being used almost every day during that time she’s starting to show wear and tear. The wheels are wobbly and she’s starting to get rickety. It’s time for her to retire.
Even though my new frame will just be an exact replacement of the same model, I’m still feeling quite emotional at the thought of getting a new one. I always do, actually. I realise this probably sounds silly to a lot of people, but I get attached to each one. It becomes like a friend that gets me through the good times and the hard, and everything in between.
