I remember that rainy day. You can read the story here https://t.co/Bxc7CU1MES. It hasn’t been an easy ride but for the most part, I think I’m doing my best. I’ve come far from this person at the hospital (prior to the amputation) to this better looking version of myself. pic.twitter.com/ylztNlmfVr

And I’m super thankful. I remember the first few months when I had to go back to school with my crutches. Things have gotten a lot better. 3 prosthetic legs later, I’ve been able to travel with my love, to support causes I hold dear to my heart and to live independently enough. pic.twitter.com/VklU7vevFv

I’m really privileged to be able to afford this, together with the help of my family, & (internet) friends too! But many people (esp. children) are not as privileged. If you can, please donate to @theirede a not-for-profit set up to help indigent kids living with disabilities. pic.twitter.com/aBklb5FmeM

2 out of 10 times, I wonder if my amputation is restricting me from achieving all my huge goals and aspirations. Sometimes I have to depend on other people or things for stability. But 8 out of 10, I’m reminded by my amazing support system that I’m doing just great! pic.twitter.com/lzhMmbDF3M
