Mostly, I want to be treated like everyone else. I don't want to be "different." I don't expect special treatment because of my past. I just want to be one of many.
But then there are days when I want people to realize just how hard it can be for me to get up out of bed and face the world. I want to be greeted not with "you're late," but "wow, I'm impressed that you made it." Sometimes just being there is all that I can offer. Some days it's more than I can offer. I'm not lazy, I'm not rude, and i'm not avoiding people or missing appointments on purpose. I'm struggling, and I'm doing the best I can.
I just want the world to know that.
