Hello and welcome to Fun Fact Friday, the feature where I share facts about myself that aren’t linked to my Cerebral Palsy.
This week I’m going to give you a list of some of the TV shows I like, in no particular order (please note that I’m not at the end/caught up with all these shows yet, so if you could please try avoid giving me any spoilers I’d be grateful.)
A little while ago, Norah, who also writes a blog, asked me if I would write a post about how it makes me feel when I know I have to accept help that I don’t want.
She asked me to do this a little while ago and one of the reasons that it’s taken me so long to get around to this (sorry, Norah), is that I had a really long think about the things I wanted to say.
For me, it’s not really a case of ‘not wanting’ help, and more a case of having occasions in life where I feel like I ‘shouldn’t need help and should be able to do these things for myself.’
It was my birthday last week. I turned 24. I had a wonderful day surrounded by people that I love and care about, and, who I’m fairly certain love and care about me just as much. I was spoilt with good will messages, cake and presents and it was wonderful to be able to spend time with some of the most important people in my life.
That said, now that I’m older, I’m always more and more aware that I wasn’t supposed to be blowing out candles and making any wishes for another three months yet. That evening my mum said to me, “Just think this time 24 years ago we were both fighting for our lives…” and every year on my birthday that thought is never too far away.
I always reflect on things regrading my Cerebral Palsy at the New Year. Here’s a vlog about it:
Hello and welcome to Fun Fact Friday, the place where I share facts about myself that aren’t linked to my cerebral palsy.
This week I’m really excited to share my fun fact with you all because I took what felt like a pretty big leap and did something I’ve never done before.
