Saturday July 4, 2016 | Two Journal Prompts
Saturday July 4, 2016 | Is there someone in your life you didn't instantly warm to, who you've since become closer to? Why do you think this is?
Yes! I spent years studying the faces of my relatives, trying to figure out where, or even from whom, I inherited my selective mutism. This is not something to take lightly. I believe selective mutism is a serious condition that demands attention. I probably grew up much like my sister Karin, taught in the same way she was, but I learned differently. My brain was wired differently. I was born to stand out—I was meant to stand out!
Saturday July 4, 2026 | If you had the power, what law would you introduce in your home state or country?
I wish there were a law that stopped anyone from taking advantage of people with disabilities, unless there was genuine mutual trust. It’s just an idea, though—I’m not planning to act on it. My body says no, and honestly, who would even give me a ride? When I was younger, I never spoke to anyone, but now as an adult, I talk in certain situations and with certain people. I’d like to change that!
