What shirt did you decide to wear today? Do you shower in the morning or at night? What radio station will you listen to in your car? Did you pack a lunch for work or will you go out and grab a bite?

Each day we are flooded with freedoms that seem insignificant.

Imagine how it would feel to have those choices taken away. Imagine you are almost ready to head out the door, wearing your favorite
t-shirt and you get stopped by a stranger, moving about your home…as if it were their own. The stranger tells you that you have to change, because your shirt doesn’t match. The stranger also tells you that you have to take a shower at night, even though you are always up early and would rather take one in the morning.

Sometimes there are two strangers, in your house, and they talk to each other (as though you weren’t even there). When your ride comes, to take you to work, the music seems to pulse inside your brain. Once you arrive, your supervisor tells you that there isn’t any work today. So, you put your head down and cry. Two of your other supervisors approach you, at the same time, and tell you to stop crying.

The meaning behind experiences sometimes gets clearer the farther away one gets. I find myself thinking, now, of the years I worked with adults with developmental disabilities. I am astounded by how kind the clients were to me despite the struggles they were facing (that I didn’t even know about or understand).
