Sick and disabled women are some of the strongest, most compassionate people around-mostly because we have to be. We often feel we need to prove we are no more dependent, no more burdensome, no less autonomous, and no less valuable than healthy people.But, my faith taught me that humans are INTERDEPENDENT and we have to accept that in order to fight oppressive structures of all kinds.I spend a lot of time trying to be worthy of love, but only recently figured out that I already am.
