Pretending to be somebody else in order to access the resources I need to live are consistently the worst experiences in my life. This often includes having to present myself as "disabled enough" for accommodations, how I must attempt to make the invisible visible
an image of a quote by george orwells 1984. The text says "The most terrible loneliness is not the kind that comes from being alone, but the kind that comes from being misunderstood. It is the loneliness of standing in a crowded room, surrounded by people who do not see you, who do not hear you, who do not know the true essence of who you are. And in that loneliness, you feel as though you are fading, disappearing into the background, until you are nothing more than a ghost. A shadow of your former self."
