Couple of
days ago I walked to a bookstore in town so I could put money on my phone so I
could text my Mum so I could work out what I was doing that day. Even before I got to the bookstore a man
noticed my leg turn inwards and he shouted to me “Did you have an accident?” I ignored him and carried onto the
bookstore. I wanted to turn around to
him and tell him “No I was born this way and if you have a problem with the way
that I walk take it up with my missing chromosome or otherwise mind your business.”
That was the
second time in about three years that someone has noticed the way that I walk. A few years back I was in a store looking at DVDs
when an older man in a scooter asked me if I was pigeon toed and I told him no I
was not and had a rare syndrome. I
dropped the DVD that I was looking at back on the shelf and quickly got out of
the store.
My balance isn’t
that good on uneven surfaces because I will fall down a lot and hurt myself so
I don’t walk and text at the same time because I need to concentrate walking.
I know that I
won’t even win an olympic running race because I can’t run fast but that is all
right with me who needs an olympic gold medal for running anyway it is all
right to be me.
Absolutely, it's alright indeed to be you...
