The Dream To Be Average

Oh how I wish people would stop paying extra attention to me since I dislocated my knee again. It’s all because of that stupid immobilizer people automatically think “oh he can’t handle himself, I know let me do this or that.” Sure it’s a nice gesture, but I don’t need it. I only use one crutch, and it takes the same amount of effort as it does for anyone else. The fact of the matter is that I hate the fact my injury makes me stand out amongst the crowd. I’m the “cripple,” and it’s like as though I’ve become entirely dependent on others in their eyes.

I wish I can just take it off and walk around like a normal person would. I did it today while shopping for a b-day present for my mom. I just need to be really careful until I can get a brace, which is why I’m “required” to use the immobilizer.
