Don’t you ever let a soul in the world tell you that you can’t be exactly who you are.

When I see girls in their bathing suit, I’m happy for them.
When I see girls drive when they’re young, I’m happy for them.
When I see girls walking with their boyfriends, I’m happy for them.
Sometimes, I wish I was like them…
My name is Alejandrina. I’m one in every 500,000.
Diastrophic Dysplasia.
That’s me in my favorite dress.
I’m tiny. Less than 3 feet tall.
I have a cleft palate, makes my voice sound cute.
I wear braces on my feet, only to balance if I want to dribble a basketball.
I can walk. I have an electric wheelchair for better mobilization.
I call it, My PurpleBulldozer.
My feet look cool, like a dinosaur.
Every once in a while, I have slight hearing problems.
I have scoliosis.
My hands are the HitchHiker type.
My tummy has scars.
I have had many surgeries.
Even after all this-
I smile.
:)
I want people to understand how amazing and fortunate you truly are.
People out there have it worse. Worse than you and me.
Be happy for the Life you are living.
Be happy for your body.
Be happy for your car.
Be happy for your home.
Be happy.
Happiness is not a destination.
It’s a way of Life.
So be it.
Everyone is absolutely
Beautiful, Gorgeous, Breath-Taking, Amazing, Wonderful.
Smile and Believe, because YOU are all of these things.
Every single one of them.

It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it; but the young know they are wretched, for they are full of the truthless ideals which have been instilled into them, and each time they come in contact with the real they are bruised and wounded.
—W. Somerset Maugham, Of Human Bondage (via bookoasis)
I wish you could live in my brain for a week. It is washed with the most violent waves of emotion…And you think it all fixed and settled. Do we then know nobody?—only our own version of them, which, as likely as not, are emanations from ourselves

If only we’d stop trying to be happy we could have a pretty good time.
