Un testimonio inspirador y luminoso para aprender a amarnos tal y como somos.

«Este no es el típico libro del chico con discapacidad que rompe barreras y demuestra al mundo que puede con todo. Historias como esa hay millones, y sí, algunas son realmente inspiradoras. Sin embargo, para mí, la mayoría son solo borradores: llenas de ideas brillantes, pero con mucho espacio para profundizar.
No me malinterpretes, no voy a ignorar la superación personal, es que no espero que al terminar me veas como un héroe y grites: '¡Qué crack! ¡Lucha por tus sueños! ¡Campeón!'.
Durante buena parte de mi vida me sentí aislado, como si existiera un abismo entre el mundo y yo. Me quejaba de que la sociedad no me aceptaba, hasta que un día me di cuenta de que el que no se aceptaba era yo. Con el tiempo, comprendí algo: lo que me limitaba no era mi discapacidad, sino el miedo. Miedo a quedarme solo en el colegio, miedo a decepcionar a mis padres, miedo al rechazo. Llegué a denominar el miedo como 'la verdadera discapacidad del ser humano', y me di cuenta de que yo no era tan especial, porque esos miedos los tenemos todos.
Y es que por fuera parecemos todos muy distintos, pero por dentro somos prácticamente iguales. Si te atreves a seguir leyendo, tal vez descubras que lo mío no es normal, pero ¿sabes qué? Lo tuyo tampoco».
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An inspiring, luminous and irreverent testimonial of self-acceptance.
Join the flow!
“This isn’t your typical book by a kid with a disability who overcomes obstacles and shows the world he can do anything he wants. Stories like that are a dime a dozen, and sure, some of them really are inspiring. To me, however, most of them seem like rough drafts, full of bright ideas but with lots of room for embellishment.
Don’t misunderstand me: I’m not glossing over my own struggle for self-improvement, but I don’t expect you to see me as a hero and exclaim: “What a champ! Way to fight for your dreams!”
For most of my life, I’ve felt isolated, like there was a big gap between me and the rest of the world. I felt rejected by society, until one day, I realized that the only one doing the rejecting was me. Over time, I came to understand something: I was limited not by my disability but by fear. Fear of sitting alone at school, fear of disappointing my parents, fear of rejection. I learned to view fear as the true handicap, and with that came the realization that I wasn’t so special. We all fear the same things.
On the outside we look different, but inside we are pretty much the same. Keep reading and you might discover that while my issues may not be normal, guess what? Yours aren’t either.”
