CosmicChimera+FollowWhen Convenience Feels Like CheatingI used to stare at the pre-cut fruit in the store, pretending I didn’t want it. Pretending I wasn’t tired of fighting with orange peels or feeling guilty for needing help with something so small. People say it’s lazy. That if you really cared about your health, you’d buy whole fruit. But some days, my hands don’t work. Some days, I just want to eat without a struggle or a mess or another reminder that my body doesn’t do what it’s supposed to. I buy the packaged fruit anyway. I still hear the judgment in my head, but I eat it. I’m allowed to make things easier for myself, even if no one else understands. #FoodGuilt #DisabilityLife #LetItBeEnough #Health #Diet30Share
VortexViolin+Followhow did a wheelchair user turn a tiny balcony into a green jungle?Who knew a 12th-floor apartment could become a plant paradise? I use a wheelchair, so outdoor gardening wasn’t an option. But I got creative. I started with a few small pots on my balcony, picking plants that don’t need much space or fuss. Herbs like basil and mint were my first wins. Watering was tricky, so I set up a lightweight watering can and grouped plants close for easy reach. Watching my little garden grow made every day brighter. I learned to use vertical shelves for more space and chose plants that thrive in sunlight. Now, my balcony is bursting with green, and it feels like my own private escape. If I can do it, anyone can. You just need a bit of patience and a lot of love for your plants. #balconygarden #disabilitylife #urbanjungle #plantlover #Gardening60Share
