500 Followers!!!

Posted in Current Updates and Recent Life

Hey, guys! I’m OVERJOYED to announce that The Wheelchair Teen hit five hundred followers last week!

The Wheelchair Teen started with me scribbling down some early memories and random thought trains in the notes app of the first iPhone I ever had. When I turned seventeen, I decided to post some of them here online without much expectation that people would care. I started out quite angry at the world and I hadn’t come to terms with my disability yet. I wrote under a pseudonym and never showed my face on my blog. So much has changed since then.

Now I’m honestly so overwhelmed by all of the positive reactions and support from my incredible followers. Thank you to each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart. I can’t describe in words how much all of you have helped me to overcome and to accept what happened to me in the past. I’ve definitely found my voice here and the fact that five hundred people care is amazing!!! Thanks so much, everyone!

  11. “Thank you.” Remember to take in those words yourself too. I’m slowly getting better at remembering to take the positivity inward as well as shine it outwards, like you remind us to do.

    Keep on keeping on being awesome. 😎

    1. That is an important thing to remember. I’m happy that you’re also remembering to take the positive inward as well – being positive towards ourselves is definitely important, we owe it to ourselves. I’m sincerely enjoying going through your comments 😊 I hope that you’ll keep on keeping on being awesome too! 😎
