How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you?
To be honest, I don’t know how to answer this question. If someone can’t see me because that person is blind, how do I describe a disability? I can’t. I have no words.
I do have deformities in my joints from battling Rheumatoid Arthritis since I was a child. If that person wanted to feel my fingers to understand my joint damage. Perfectly fine with me.
What would you change about modern society?
I would make accommodations available to the disabled community so that we can live an independent life.

On what subject(s) are you an authority?

The Bible. I am reading it, and I want to understand God better.

If I have questions or want to understand a subject better, I read and research things.
Learning never ends.
What’s your definition of romantic?
My definition of romantic has changed over the years. Now, it’s just having someone get to know me as an individual despite having a disability. That’s my definition.
What are your daily habits?
Part of my morning routine is I will take my medication that I need. Once that is done, I will read my Bible and pray. Then I take the rest of my medication and have my breakfast.
After that, I will do my chores and then start working on writing projects.
That is my morning routine.

One thing that gets on my nerves about being disabled. People try to fix my problems when I have explained why I can’t.
What do I mean “fixing my problems”?
When I have clearly stated why I can’t do something because of financial or health issues, then I receive unwanted advice on how to address the problem.
I understand that my life and my struggles are so different from able body people. Dealing with health and financial issues and fighting against a disease (rheumatoid arthritis) that wants to cripple me.
One reason why some people do this is because it is a coping mechanism. My life and their lives are radically different. Perhaps, they are comparing their lives to mine. There could be a lot of reasons why people are trying to fix my problems.
That I am a reminder that health is fragile, and that terrifies a lot of people.
I just want people to ask me if I need help, to respect my boundaries, and to ask questions. Also, realize that I am human with desires and needs, have a different perspective, and my life as meaning and value.
