Good enough Quote by Francesca Martínez
““My disability, it transpired, was the least of my problems. The real question became: how do I defend myself against the constant onslaught of pressures to conform to unrealistic ideals? It’s odd that society has chosen to promote such destructive ideas. Who decided that? And when? I must have missed that meeting. Surely it’s not just an accident that the Western world has adopted ‘YOU’RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH’ as one of its primary slogans. And, why has it been so furiously promoted when it creates such damaging beliefs in people? The society I was born into proclaims that people shouldn’t have to ‘suffer’ from disability but is more than happy to embrace values that cause widespread suffering. It doesn’t make sense. At all.””
