I’m 20 years old and I have a disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy that will eventually kill me. I have been in a wheelchair since I was two. I love to laugh and my life is pretty funny. Allow me to share…

If you’re new to my page, things will make more sense if you read my very first post before you start reading the other ones. There is a link down below to all of my longer stories.

I&amp;#8217;m in a wheelchair. This is my blog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m not sure if David remembered to mention it during your meeting today, but I have an arrangement with Tumblr where they send me a check for $34,000,000 at the end of every week. Just want to make sure there are no hiccups in my check deliveries now that you guys are the official owners of Tumblr. If Mr. Karp forgot to mention it, don&amp;#8217;t bother checking into it too much. In fact, don&amp;#8217;t even really think about it, just make sure I have my check this Friday.&lt;/p&gt;
