Living my dream life with a disability!

1. Photos and videos I shot in 2024 won awards, sparking even more interest in photography.

2. Captured so many photos my girlfriend loves.

3. Restarted my company.

4. Took two joyful trips.

5. Helped 10 people with disabilities regain confidence and return to life.

6. Built six large support communities for people with disabilities to encourage each other.

7. Shared over 1,200 hours of rehab knowledge via live streams.

I never imagined accomplishing so much in this body. Here’s to pushing further in 2025!

... Read moreLiving with a disability often comes with unique challenges, but it can also lead to extraordinary achievements. In 2024, many individuals have found ways to not only navigate their circumstances but to thrive. Taking initiative, such as starting a business or engaging in supportive communities, can create pathways to empowerment. Photography has been a transformative outlet for many. Capturing moments not only brings joy but can win accolades, thereby encouraging more artistic expression. Furthermore, helping others—whether by sharing resources, knowledge, or simply encouragement—can foster immense growth and confidence within oneself and a community. Social platforms have played a crucial role in building connections among people with disabilities, enabling the formation of supportive networks. Sharing experiences, as well as rehabilitation knowledge, can immensely benefit individuals seeking positive change in their lives. Whether through live streams or community engagements, the power of connection cannot be overstated. As 2025 approaches, setting new goals and pushing boundaries can inspire others to do the same. Celebrating daily achievements, big or small, can cultivate a mindset focused on positivity and resilience. It’s about embracing each victory and using it as a stepping stone to greater endeavors ahead.

A person with reddish-brown hair and glasses, wearing a blue top, looks at the camera. Digital butterflies float around their head. The text "Living with invisible disabilities." is overlaid on the image, along with "Lemon8" and "@samantha.alexande".
Living with invisible disabilities.
"Why are you always so tired?" "You're just lazy." "There's nothing wrong with you!" I hate hearing those words... sometimes from people closest to me. The truth is... I am tired. I am sick. I hate being this way. If I could change it I would. PTSD, panic di

Chronic pain and disability is a challenge I don't wish on anyone. It is so hard
Chronic pain and disability is a challenge I don't wish on anyone. It is so hard to stay positive during flareups especially as someone already prone to depression. Making #nailart has been a gentler process than my usual #3Dart so it's been fun making some press-on sets for myself.

A bedroom scene with a bed, windows, and a desk. The bed is adorned with plush toys and a rolled blanket. The text overlay reads 'ADHD is a severely impairing disability', emphasizing the article's theme about the challenges of ADHD.
ADHD is a severely imparing disability
I went over a week without washing my face, showering, or brushing my teeth. A tiny cyst on my neck got infected because I literally couldn’t bring myself to treat it. It sounds extreme, but ADHD isn’t just forgetfulness—it can make even the simplest self-care feel impossible. It wasn’t until I to
