 I’m not trying to be an asshole but I just saw a picture of a woman in a wheelchair that was born with some muscle disease that prevents her from walking. The condition looks similar to Stephen hawking. So she’s been disabled her entire life and she wrote in the caption that she never let the disability stop her from living life to the fullest. Yes it’s sad but I mean come on. You’re living your life to the fullest in a fucking wheel chair? You can’t swim, go on hikes, play sports, or play the most basic kids games like tag. Can’t drive or fucking grab the bag of chips off the top shelf. 

Why do people insist on sharing their delusions with others? If everyone around you agrees with your delusion, it doesn’t become reality. And why do people support this delusion?
