🔊🔊 Hey everyone, listen up! wants to have a heart-to-heart with all of you about the importance of being tooo damn sensitive when it comes to her blindness! (Some of the time) 🙈💼 (And yes, I'm publicly addressing this because sometimes we make mistakes publicly. Oops! 😅)
We all have tough days, ok years for us as of late— 🤨😂🤨👍🤔🤣🤣🤣 right? And during those times, it's easy to be in fight mode, ready to battle anyone who crosses our path. But sometimes, comments can be misinterpreted and taken the wrong way. It happens! 😉
In those heated moments, we feel the need to defend ourselves and win every argument. We've had battles this year that we needed to win for our own mental well-being. (And frankly for our actual survival)
But not every disagreement is a battle worth fighting! Sometimes, it's just a simple misunderstanding or a difference in opinions. 🤷♀️
And hey, let's remember that receiving an apology doesn't always mean it's worded exactly how we want it to be. It's important to recognize that a sincere apology might not meet our specific expectations.
Most importantly, not every comment is a reflection of our intelligence or disability. 🧠✨ Sure, there are instances where people judge us based on our disabilities, but I'm still learning to sift through those comments and not let them affect me. It's a work in progress! (56 years worth)
I'm writing this because I know someone inadvertently got caught up in my anger. When I passionately advocate for blind individuals' capabilities, sometimes others unintentionally become part of my frustration. And that was never my intention! 😔
As we prepare to embark on the next exciting chapter of our lives, I believe it's crucial to acknowledge my own mistakes, just as I've called out others throughout the year. Most of the time, our concerns were directed at public officials who neglected their duties, causing chaos in our community. But there was one individual who wasn't causing havoc and yet, they were called out publicly. To that person, I sincerely apologize for the unjust call-out. 🙏
If I'm going to address resentments and let go of negativity, it would be hypocritical of me not to address my own mistakes as well.
I truly hope that this post reaches its intended recipient and provides them with the apology they deserve.
Some book recommendations I used this year to help the heal!
