    Good Afternoon From New York City

    Dear Unsealers,

    My name is Oswald Perez. I’m a poet and writer that lives in New York City. I’m also a person that has Cerebral Palsy.

    I’m thankful to have found this group. It took a bit of effort on my part to take the leap and become a member of the group.

    As I happened to be scrolling one night and came across the sponsored advertisement for the group. After asking for the Zoom link for one of the candid conversations, I knew that this would be a new landing spot for me.

    I’m in the midst of trying to become my ideal self, or something close to it.

    Among my goals in life, I want to become an independent adult and a writer/speaker. Someone tells his story of inspiration to those that need to hear the message. That it’s okay to embrace every inch of yourself and not let the circumstances of the past define who you are in the present moment.

    And a person that chronicles everything that he’s doing. His travels, hopes, dreams and ambitions for books, posts on various feeds and videos.

    • Good for you, seeing others writing and expressing their feelings is a great resource and comfort area to share how you’re feeling. I’m glad you’re seeking to become your ideal self, but as I stated to another, don’t allow your illness/disease stop you from doing “anything” you want to do, unless it interferes and causes your illness to worsen. There’s nothing a person with a disease/illness can’t do what others can, except at times with some limitations, but it can be done. But before even thinking of reaching your ideal self, you need to remember one thing and that is, you’re already there without ever doing anything. You are already a Unique person, you were born Unique. We’re all different in our own personal way, so stand out by just being yourself, not what you think others think as ideal. The illness you have is no fault of your own, it just attached itself to you. Everyone have something attached to them that they don’t want, but most are hiding theirs. We (you) have illnesses that even if others can’t see, it will bother us here and there, where others may find out about it, but it still doesn’t make you any less or different than anyone else. There’s so many other worst off. Be who you are and take your disease and deal with it, but don’t allow it to stop you from reaching your highest. Reach for the moon if you want to, no matter how high, it’s yours for the taking. Live your life to the fullest. Reach and be exactly who you want to be.
