Who are you?
Not just your diagnosis. Not just the labels people have put on you. Not just the version of yourself you have gotten used to seeing.
Who are you, and who do you want to become?
In this short episode of Living with Mild Cerebral Palsy, I want you to sit with those questions.
Think about your interests. The work you want to do. The friendships you want. Whether you want romantic relationships. Whether you want to be more social or spend more time by yourself. Think about the things you want to explore and the type of person you want to be.
There really is no single way your life has to look.
And that is especially important when you live with cerebral palsy because so much of the world is willing to put labels on you before getting to know the rest of who you are.
You do not have to accept those labels.
At the same time, becoming who you want to be probably will not look exactly the way you imagined it.
That is true for everybody.
Life rarely unfolds exactly the way we picture it before we start. With cerebral palsy, there may be additional challenges and you may have to find your own way of doing things.
But it can still be your way.
So take a few minutes and write it down.
Who are you right now?
What parts of that do you love?
What would you like to change or add?
And who do you want to become from here?
There is a lot more to you than cerebral palsy, and you get to decide what you want the next part of your story to look like.
