Question for Disabled people/people with disabilities, Deaf, Mad and Sick people:
What things do you do on a regular basis to affirm your own realness to yourself?
To make clear to yourself that your body exists,
and by its very existence is worthy of existence,
and also of care, love, and resources?
To be an alive human in your own perception?
To reaffirm your personhood in your own mind?
To be fully inside softness and joy?
I’m not talking about the shit we have to go through to prove to others that we exist. I mean the things we do for ourselves, to make ourselves real for ourselves.
I would be grateful if you wanted to share any rituals, habits, interactions, methods of healing and care, creations, collections, shouts….
