'My mum thought I'd be better off dead after horror crash left me paralysed'
It was one of those reactive, protective [feelings] - my mum wouldn't want to see me suffer so much.
That's why I wrote the book, to start to explain to people that my situation and anyone's situation, paralysed from the neck down, paralysed from the chest down, paralysed from the waist down - any kind of disability - it's not as clear cut as you think.I've met so many people over the years who have found that their disabilities make their lives into something more beautiful.
The way in which it turns your life upside down when it happens to you and the way it impacts your family, the way it impacts every single part of your life - but not just the negative consequences. I occasionally do weights, but I do about half an hour or an hour of cardio two or three times a week and then the rest is my diet.I draw. I paint. I sketch. I'm constantly using that as a tool whenever I'm a bit stressed out or a bit tired or a little bit angry or [feeling] any emotions that I don't quite know how to manage.I listen to a lot of music. Music is my outlet really.It's the best thing in the world. I can't put into words how much fun it is.
