I will not be silenced.

The worst thing about finally coming to terms and acknowledging your limitations when you’re mentally or physically disabled, especially when it’s chronic, is when someone who means well, a family member, a best friend, etc. tries to convince you that you in fact do not have those limitations. It tends to be coupled with “you can do everything you set your mind to!” but the thing is, it takes a lot of self forgiveness and self acceptance to admit yourself you have a limitation. 

It is not an easy to allow yourself limitations because it’s frowned upon when a disabled person does not do their best to hide their disability. When I say I cannot do something, trying to encourage me to do it anyway does not make me feel better. It instead makes me feel invalidated and fall back into the pattern of ‘maybe they’re right, and I’m just faking or being lazy’, which completely negates all the work put into the process of self love and self acceptance.

New definition of gritty reboot: the story is exactly the same, but one main character has been replaced by Gritty.

Jane. All the dialogue about how she’s objectively the prettiest and sweetest sister with the most delicate manners and constitution and has trouble expressing her emotions especially when in love remain 100% unchanged.

Meanwhile, Jane “Gritty” Bennet is in the background of the shot in a 100% period-accurate dress, throwing Mr Collins through a window.

Pride and Extreme Prejudice

The responses to this post just keep getting better.

Mr. Darcy: You are dancing with the only handsome girl in the room.

Meanwhile:

Mr. Bingley: She is the most beautiful creature I have ever beheld.

People think that Austenites are stuffy purists but I guarantee many of us would LOVE this (along with Muppets Pride and Prejudice) because I’m confident that both would be faithful to the heart of the novel and have book-accurate characterizations.

Well, except for Gritty.

Well, it would explain why Darcy says she looks at everyone the same.

my brain, still to this day, every single time:

Idk if we could afford an impromptu PS5 but I would certainly try

I would find a way to take her to Disney World! I live in Florida, so we have proximity. But I would let her buy whatever she wanted if she lectured the damn governor.

No one wants to admit this but you don’t actually have to eat eggs and dairy for breakfast. Farmers just did that because they’d milk the cows and collect eggs in the morning. You can literally make a sandwich or a bowl of pasta or really anything you want for breakfast. There isn’t some medical reason you have to eat cereal and milk or fried eggs in the morning—our idea of “breakfast food” is an entirely artificial construct. Do what makes you happy.

Well put. (Source: Writing About Writing Facebook page)
