It's #DisabilityPrideMonth, so I'm gonna level with you:

I'm not proud to be disabled. It's painful and exhausting and expensive and it either took away or limited most of the things I enjoy. It's among the worst things that's ever happened to me.

While I'm certainly a fan of the ADA (original impetus for the month) and the need for better disability awareness, there's no pride here. I find it difficult to imagine there ever will be.
