Hey, today we have a quick Q&A because I’ve had a few questions and I always like doing these! What is the best thing about being disabled? I don’t want to be all doom and gloom but to be honest I don’t think there is anything I particularly like about it. People might joke about good parking spaces or sitting around all day but trust me, none of it is worth it! If I could make it all magically go away I would do so in an instant. ——————————— What makes the perfect boyfriend? For me, I mostly look for safety and security with a person and their sense of humour. I I like someone who is strong and confident and, as I said, makes me feel safe. This has always been the case, not just now when I am more vulnerable. The sense of humour is probably the most important part, I need to be able to laugh. I don’t think I have a particular type when it comes to physical attraction, I’ve dated men taller and shorter, super big and super skinny. It really is all about how they make me feel. ——————————— Who was your first celebrity crush? Don’t laugh, but it was George W Bush! Old, grey, man in a suit with the ultimate power and authority. How could I not? ——————————— What are you most thankful for? Let me see, I am thankful that I still have my main senses, except touch really. That I can see, smell, and taste in particular. I love scented candles, flowers and things that smell beautiful. I would really miss it if I couldn’t smell anymore. I am grateful for my family for looking after me, and for the friends who stuck by me though sadly very few did. I am grateful for everybody here, you have shown such amazing support and encouragement. I am grateful for technology, I love my phone and it gives me an immense amount of freedom. I love the fact I can dictate these things, so I haven’t lost the ability to communicate. ——————————— I had some questions about religion and politics, so briefly: I am not religious anymore. I was, but then a number of things happened, not just getting MS but other things as well, that led me to believe that either God didn’t exist or that he wasn’t a very pleasant being. And I didn’t like feeling that way so I changed my outlook to be more spiritual without a specific religion or God. As for politics I suppose I am fairly central in UK politics which probably puts me quite far to the left in American politics. I voted for Labour in the last election, I used to vote Conservative (again, UK Conservatives, very different from American ones) but I have lost faith in them over the years. Brexit particularly took its toll on my feelings towards them.
