08/23/2020 this is good but I wish they would stop making it more difficult than it truly is. I understand that he doesn’t want to affect the people around him because of his disabilities but he also needs to understand his life will never be the same as others. the people around him are trying to help they don’t want him to miss out on life because of a disability. not everyone offers the best solution and some people can be inconsiderate but still they are trying. being together won’t be the easiest thing but their relationship is no different than anyone else’s. I think sign language is beautiful and an amazing way to communicate, I wish more schools, offered it. also, that lady made me incredibly angry when she told Maya that she should be grateful since she’s not deaf and people have it worse. that's the small-minded thinking that irritates and pisses me off. I have a chronic illness and other medical problems and I hate when people tell me I should be grateful it’s not cancer. I’m aware that people have it worse but that doesn’t belittle my chronic illness, that doesn’t take away its effects on my everyday life and how I still suffer and make the people around me suffer as well. my friends and family try their best to treat me as equals but I’m not, one wrong move and I’m hospitalized. we all face different battles but just because some have it worse that doesn’t mean what you’re going through is irrelevant. anyways as you can see that lady truly got to me because I deal with people with her poor thinking often.

this was wholesome and cute. i’m happy they ended up together even if it took time at least it ended up being legal. it’s a shame how they could’ve been together for two years but i’m happy the uke found growth and happiness. he also had an incredibly supportive best friend. to strangers im very introverted unless i find a way to feel comfortable with them. but i’m also an extrovert because i use it to appear normal. i sympathize with the uke and i know it’s not easy to change even if it is for the better.
