what do labels mean what do labels do?

labels are simply barriers they are preconceived notions or categories about youridentify the notion of what we should be or what we should do

I am a stroke survivor not a stroke victim

now I can add legally blind label to myself

am i handicapped disabled differently abled

what does the label tell you about the person that I am

nothing simply an arbitrary notion of how I should be and how I should be treated

there is only one label that matters to me I am human

I am AliveI have thoughts and feelings

never assume you know anything about a person based on their label my labels are not me they are what I am NOT Who I am

Peace and prayers to all
