Some days living with FA (or any rare disease) you feel like you could climb a mountain, other days this is the best you can give! 💪🏻

Remember.. you’re not alone!

Remember.. Disability doesn’t make friendship harder.. the WRONG people do. You’re not the issue because of your walker/wheelchair. Those that see it as an issue aren’t worth your time anyways!!

Life is so hard living with a rare diseases (FA) and they don’t prepare you for it. However with time you can learn how to love yourself again.. A few things I do to love my life!

•Gardening
•Baking
•Slow Days
•Self care routines
•Getting my Nails done
•Talking to others who get it

What are some things you do?!
