Inspired? What Are You Going To Do Now?

You have heard it before. You may have said it.   "You are such an inspiration!" "(Person's name) is so inspiring!"   I have heard it, and I have been the one supposedly “inspiring” people.   And I very much dislike it.   Disabled people are usually the main subject of what is known as "inspiration porn".   We move a finger while disabled, we inspire. If we can't move, but we open our eyes, we inspire. We use technology to live, we inspire. We wake up and enjoy life, we inspire. We smile, we inspire. We breathe, we inspire.
