SMILING

BY RYAN HUGHES

My name is Ryan Hughes and I can’t believe I am writing my own blog. About 15 months ago I was at a showing of the documentary, Spellers, and I met Judy. It was the moment that changed my life. I have gone from living in a hell of loneliness to smiling as I sit here writing my own blog. I can’t stop smiling when I am here at Mouth to Hand.

Better Days Ahead

I started a new group recently. I am having the time of my life. I so needed friends. Had no idea how amazing it is to have peers. Mouth to Hand really is the best place for us. Not only is it a gathering of some of the smartest people - they are also the best. I think I may have found my calling in creative writing. Judy is so great at helping us formulate our thoughts into words. I love the idea of talking through our characters. It’s a feeling I thought I would never have. This place helps you realize dreams you never thought possible. Of course we didn't get here overnight. Thanks to my Mom she never gave up on me. I love this place, but not as much as I love my Mom!

The New Me

I am sitting here in Judy’s office grinning like a lunatic. I get so excited when I am coming to see her that I feel giddy. I believe I am happier these days than I ever was before spelling combined. It’s like there was a me back then that just existed and the me now, that is the real Ryan. I used to wonder what Ryan would have been like if he weren’t disabled. I guessed he’d be smart and funny and have a ton of friends.


Well, guess what? He is finally existing, and he is all the things I’d dreamed of. He is me now. 

This Ryan wants to do something with his life. I get it that I’m still disabled…but I feel way less disabled than I used to. Now I feel more like Ryan, who just happens to talk with his finger. It doesn’t feel like I can’t do anything anymore. So now that I can say anything I want, I’m going to have new dreams. 

Instead of dreaming about who I would have been, I will dream about who I will be.
