Teen Gothic

I have a condition called Muscular Dystrophy. I just want to talk to people like myself. One good thing about my wheelchair is that I can wear whatever shoes I want now. My ankles got too weak to wear heels years ago. That meant anything except flat shoes like Mary Janes/Baby Doll shoes were out of the question.

It was frustrating not being able to dress the way I wanted to but now I can wear whatever I want, yay! Something I laugh about is now I can't quite tell whether people are staring at me because of how I'm dressed or because of being disabled lol. I like to say maybe it's a little of both.

It's sad how people assume that we're different and treat us differently just because we're disabled. I've actually had people treat me like they were surprised that I'm goth. They treated me like I was mentally challenged just because of a physical disability. Their attitude seem to be that they couldn't figure out how I even knew what goth is.

There's nothing wrong with mentally challenged people, I'm just saying I wish people would stop assuming things. I guess you have to learn to laugh at yourself though. Anyway, I want to talk to people like myself.
