OH MY GOODNESS! LUCY DID IT.

Yes oh I came out of the self stigma and hiding. I can't be completely blamed for feeling bad about having a disability because that was how I was raised up as a child and I tend to grow up with this mentality that I need to hide my disability.
Dresses my mama bought for me are always oversized and shapeless, her thought was to hide the bad legs. Hiding the disability didn't stop people from looking at me anywhere I go to, it just confused there sight and mind. Some people will even go to the extent of asking me questions like, what happened to your legs? why are you wearing a cloth bigger than you? why are you always on a flat footwear? etc. These questions never gives me joy rather it reminds me of how different I was and it makes me cry innerly.
If I can wear oversized clothes and people still see the disability, then I can wear fitted clothes to, so I thought.
Boomed am out to wear anything that crossed my mind, but I started with my two younger sisters clothes because I don't have such kind of clothes aside mostly oversized.  Day by day I got to love what I wear and how I dress. Taking pictures became a habit everyday though my camera is bad it still didn't stop me from snapping.
Please if you know anyone living with a disability, teach him to be comfortable with what ever he/she wears. This life is too short not to be happy and free, live the life while you have it.
I love the lady I am today, no more questions from people as they can now see clearly what they should have asked.

growing up as a poor and amputee lady in the disability community

Join me as I share my personal journey of growing up poor and physically challenged, and I’ll challenge myself to reflect on the biggest lessons I've learned along the way! Growing up poor and physically challenged is a unique experience that has shaped me into the person I am today. It's a story that I'm not always comfortable sharing, but I believe that it's an important one to tell. As a kid, I always felt like I was at a disadvantage. While my friends were worrying about what game to play at recess, I was worried about how I was going to get my homework done with a disability that made it difficult for me to write. And on top of that, I was from a low-income household, so we struggled to make ends meet. My parents worked multiple jobs just to put food on the table, and I often had to fend for myself from a very young age. The financial struggles were real, and they affected every aspect of my life. I remember having to wear hand-me-down cloth...
