Re: My immigration. Reasons, plans and thoughts
I can answer what was supposed to be a rhetorical question.
The problem with following your dreams as a blind person is that 99% of the time the person saying "well just follow your dreams" has an unrealistic dream as well and is encouraging other people with unrealistic dreams to go for it. But here's the thing. When you chase an unrealistic dream, you don't get shit done and you don't get the dream either. Rule 1 of blindness? Coming to terms with it. Do the chase your dreams thing and one day you'll wake up and realize that you're exactly where you were 5 years ago when you started, and that as long as you keep doing what you're doing you'll still be there in 5 years, and that's when you wake up and realize "well shit, so actually I'm blind" which you should have done in the first place, only you're doing it 5 years too late. Also, for some reason, blind people seem to have the sorts of dreams all the sighted people gave up on when they were 10 because you're not going to be an astronaut scientist pirate or whatever, only they're 30. SO there's that as well.
I don't think immigrating is an impossible dream, merely an incredibly difficult thing that's unlikely to happen. But if you want to be a happy, well-adjusted blind person with the job and whatever else, step one is coming to terms with the fact that you're blind, figuring out what blind people can feasibly do, and then adjusting your dream to be in those parameters. It is important to find a realistic and healthy source of hope and/or happiness, rather than clinging to ideals because blindness sucks. The only way out is through.
