When I was a juvenile, I often was envy of deaf people that would use a voice phone. See, when a hearing person would use phone, I would not be envy because I know that I am deaf. They are not. It was like, they are deaf and they can use phone!! Why cannot I use phone?
Now, I'm an adult and I've a hearing girlfriend. SHe can use voice phone with ease and often helps me if I want to make a voice call. I've became a lot more laid back as compared to 20, 25 years ago. I am now 34 years old. Back then, I felt like inferior, like I did not belong. Now that I've a wonderful girlfriend who is waiting for a ring. She wants me to spend rest of my life with her. Those day, it's okay. Some deaf people can use phone. Some cannot. Life goes on. My girlfriend knows what I can and cannot do. She accepts me for myself.
So basically, those days, I'm more content with myself. I know that I have people in corner. I know that I'm loved even though I cannot use phone. Life goes on.
