How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you?

Am I describing my looks or personality because even a blind person could tell I was a bubbly, at times insecure, a little crazy type of woman.

Describing myself is a whole new board game as I can’t say I am 5’10 and a size 10 because the second they shook my hand or touched my arm it would be wow are you ok I would answer with yes fine why? Then the person with impaired sight would respond well I thought you were tall and slim so do you have an injury that is causing you hand/arm to swell to such huge proportions.

So here I go, how I see me – this my dear is through my eyes and difficult to translate if you have never seen any of what I describe. I am 5’4 and shrinking with the body of a model to be sure, the body of a Michelin woman, sporting tyres, 1, 2, 3, and 4……I have a face that can be missed in a crowd of two.

I have two features I get complimented on one being my eyes an interesting grey colour, mesmerising was the word most used, but you can’t see those sorry. The other feature ohhh well another day maybe 🤔 I will or won’t explain. Let’s say in plain view cause no way of hiding but the song 🎶 was correct “brings all the boys to the yard” 😂🤣☺️ couldn’t resist that one

Don’t expect me to walk up and say hi my wheelchair and I don’t get on so I get pushed around it’s wheely exciting and no you can’t push either because you can’t see and I don’t navigate,

I am fairly intelligent, comparing intelligence to a snail 🐌, but against a silver backed gorilla 🦍 I don’t know !! I have an average sense of humour which makes my mouth curve up more than down, and I don’t need to tell you my hair colour cause it changes with the season but you wouldn’t know cause you can’t see my hair . Oops

Although it might sound insensitive, is it really? I make comments about my lack of mobility all the time or that I have my own wheels, a wheelchair 🦽 sometimes you have to kick back and laugh at life or life kicks you and laughs.

Keep smiling everyone Kim-Louise
