Things May Be Changing

I am feeling totally mixed in my emotions lately. On the negative side, I am upset by the fights happening everywhere. I hate all the vitriol being thrown at Secretary Kennedy. I am sick and tired of people wasting time and energy fighting when so many people are sick and getting sicker. I am sick and tired of ASHA telling me I am not communicating when I use my letter board. 


I am just tired of the bullshit. 

But I am also feeling a strange sense of positivity. I’m not sure why. It may be that I feel like things are finally changing. It may be that I felt like my voice was heard when I learned that Secretary Kennedy read my blog post. It may be that Mom and Dad are looking at trying to help me get my high school diploma. It may be that my parents listened to me and that makes me feel so empowered. Maybe it’s that people in the M2H community are working together to get things done.

For example, there was a bad bill that might have been passed in the New York State Assembly. But many M2H families got together to stop that from happening. It’s in process now, but at least it has a chance of not going through in its bad form. So it owes its improved language to M2Hers. 

It just feels like M2H is getting a louder and louder voice as it grows. I feel like we are growing into a power to be reckoned with. All my life I felt completely powerless…so to feel like I’m not, feels great.
