Her cane is at her side, glowing with magic, and she looks confident and powerful. /End ID] Ooooh, can you do one for wheelchairs except it’s a throne? Because I definitely feel like I’m cruising around on a throne. How I think a wheelchair will make me feel:How my wheelchair actually makes me feel: That’s it! That’s it exactly!

We are powerful! Fantastic! Hot and cool as hell!!!! Use your mobility aid and discover your inner badass. I literally bought a cane this week because I was tired of worrying about what other people thought about me using a cane. And I decided I was going to be a bad ass with it. I feel like one with it. I wish I had seen this sooner. -- source link
