I needed to step in and say something because your disability reminded me of my mother. First off, you're beautiful even if that's not how you perceive yourself and your cat looks happy as can be in your arms. What is his/her name?
My mother is 100% blind in both eyes with no light perception anymore. Her optic nerves died in 2001/2002. She can't always keep them facing the same direction and honestly it bothered me a lot for years but it's something that I have grown to ignore because I recognize now how selfish it was of me to expect her to have magical control over her disability. I am so proud of how much she's accomplished since her blindness and she never stops volunteering to help others. Please recognize that self-love is hard to come by in this world, no matter how easy other people try to make it look! It's day in and day out, trying your hardest to remember that YOU matter even if nobody else remembers to tell you.
