Disability is the superpower — the world just built the wrong doors

From Make America Dream Again — the ethos under the house. One human's voice. No lying.

My body didn't disable me. The stairs did. The forms did. The eight-hour hold music did. That's the secret nobody outside gets: you're not broken, the building is. And when you've had to find another way in your whole life, you get good at it — you see the exits, the hacks, the doors nobody else noticed. That's not a deficit; it's a sixth sense. My whole game is inverting disability into the superpower it actually is. Build the ramp and watch us fly.

If the sentence ever feels like it wants to end — in the US, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), any hour; or find help anywhere at findahelpline.com. You are not alone, and the story isn’t over.
