I drew this picture of myself a couple months ago. I have some people in my life who became offended when I started referring to myself as disabled, because they felt this meant that I had given up on getting better (ugh. ableism). A lot of these people were also really… rude about the weight I’ve gained through my illness.
I drew this to passive aggressively make those people back off, but mostly I drew it for myself - as armor against mean comments. I like myself despite other people being unable to accept the changes that have happened to me.
