Disabled is NOT a bad word

I'm disabled. Not differently abled. I'm not special. I'm not high support needs. I'm disabled. I was born with some of my disabilities and some came on later in life. My worth will never be determined by my ability status.

disabled people deserve love

Valentine’s Day can feel a little raw for some of us in the community, but just know YOU are not the only one AND your chronic illness doesn’t make you unloveable. The right person will love you and every single part of you (yes including your disabilities) because it’s what makes you - YOU!
