Over time, I’ve built the confidence to advocate for myself and for others. But it hasn’t always been that way. And it certainly hasn’t always been easy. When people get in touch with me after they’ve read my blog posts, or whenever I meet up with someone I haven’t seen for a while, one reoccurring…

Image two: Holly sat on a low stone wall beside a shallow stream with a path running alongside it. Dense green bushes and trees line the far bank, forming a thick hedge along the water. There is a small bridge and a building in the background. She wears a black T-shirt, a long, multicoloured patterned floral skirt and a silver necklace.]](https://lifeofablindgirl.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
