Normal Me

Nothing anyone could have said could have prepared me for the awesomeness that is the M2H Dance. I have the belief that it was the most fun ever. Dancing is my favorite, and the fact that it was a no-judgment  zone made it only fun. At no point did I feel self-conscious:  it was beyond awesome. Even Judy’s mess up of the Macarena made no difference. The whole night told a story of speakers and nonspeakers mixing together seamlessly, with no differences between them.

I cannot remember a time in my life before M2H where I was treated as just a normal person. It was always “us” and “them”...never “we.” Because of that, I feel so normal recently. I have to tell you, that feels great. Being a normal person has always been my dream. I believe that is the magic of M2H. Outside these doors, I am disabled; inside this place, I am just Joss. I am again the person I really am, inside this nonfunctioning body.
