You know what? My disability does hold me back! I'm sick of pretending it doesn't because society only thinks we're worthy if we're actively trying to "overcome" our disabilities or that we "defy the odds". I'm sick of hearing "you can do anything you put your mind to" because that's just not true and is often invalidating of the struggles disabled people face.

I am worthy either way, regardless of whether I can contribute in a way that society deems acceptable or not.

The same applies to you! You are worthy if you can't drive, can't finish school, can't work a conventional job. You are worthy if you can't live on your own without help. You are worthy if you'll need assistance for the rest of your life. You are worthy, always.

ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS

• i am allowed to spend my time creating things, even if they are not beautiful.
• there is no such thing as a "real job." all forms of work are real and valid.
• there is nothing that i need to accomplish to be worthy. i am already worthy.
• doing nothing is good for my soul.
• i am not defined by what i produce.
• my worth cannot be measured by my paycheck, my job title, or a list of professional or academic achievements.
• i do not need to monetize my hobbies, it is enough to spend time doing something i love.
• i will not let society decide what success looks like. i can define what successful life looks like for me.

I love women who laugh loudly in public. I love women with a bad mouth. I love women who sit weird. I love women who dress for their own comfort. I love women who do not shave or wax. I love women with a peachy moustache. I love women with a unibrow. I love muscular women. I love big women. I love women who can kill me with bare hands. I love women who survived. I love women who rebuilt a healthier self for themselves. I love women who are fighters. I love women who feel lonely but do not lose their compassion. I love women who take up space. I love women who killed their inner observer. I love women who make period art. I love women who try to make themselves comfortable with their bodies. I love women who struggle with their body image. I love women with scars. I love women with big noses. I love women who love other women. I love women who prioritizes women in their lives. I love women who broke free from their generational trauma. I love women who work with their hands. I love women who care for girls growing up safe. I love women who knows how to defend themselves. I love women. I love women so much.
