Bio
My name is Jo without E and I enjoy throwing words into my imaginary blender, mixing them and then glueing them back together. On my blog, I write about everything. The ugly moments and the beautiful moments. The moments when I would prefer to be dead and the moments when I’m over the moon about life. About the colourfulness of the day and the colourlessness of the night. About loneliness. And community. About monsters and that they don’t always live under your bed. I write about life and how damn hard it can be sometimes. But sometimes… Sometimes it’s also just extremely beautiful.
There are endless reasons to write. I write because there might be that one person in the world who reads it. I write because I enjoy writing. I write because sometimes people need to know things. I write because writing is easier than talking. I write because it sometimes makes life easier.
Besides, I want to contribute to a more realistic image of the life of people with disabilities. Having several disabilities myself, I want to tell people what my life looks like, and what it entails to be a disabled student, a disabled friend, a disabled peer.
