Something about me…

Hi! My name is Kamila (@kami.bockova), I’m 23 years old and I live in the Czech Republic. I love music, writing, good books, cats, laughter, nature, the city I live in, the time I spend with my family and friends, and all the little things that make sense of my life. I was born with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type 2, which means that my muscles become weaker and weaker, so I need help every day, even with the most basic activities. On my Instagram, I try to break down myths and stereotypes about people with disabilities and educate them that "disability" is not a bad word. Unfortunately, society (especially in my country) still often perceives people with disabilities as very distorted, and many people think that having a disability is to live in one huge negative bubble full of pain, sadness, and regret. But it’s not like this. Although my disability affects my life every day, it gives me a lot of great things in my life. It's just about focusing on what you can do, looking for opportunities, and never givin’ up. And please remember that your differences are your biggest win. Be proud of them! Be proud of your disabilities! Kamila Bocková
