Today is my birthday, and although I may appear different from others with my two missing arms, I can’t help but feel a sense of loneliness. It seems that nobody has taken the ᴛι̇ɱe to bless me or appreciate me for who I am. The weight of this realization settles heavily on my heart, leaving me feeling saddened and overlooked. But deep down, I still hold on to the hope that one day, someone will see past my physical appearance and acknowledge the beauty that lies within me.
