Elena, 9 years old, a wheelchair and a strong appeal for us!

We live a life with our heads bent on the smartphone: we walk looking at Instagram, sending a message on whatsapp and letting our feet guide us towards the goal, looking with the corner of our eye at the obstacles we encounter on our way. , we rarely observe passers-by, who walks beside us, who we cross on our streets.
But if you had met Elena along your path, you probably would not have let her escape: 9 years old, long hair, beautiful to die for, accompanied on her walks by a wheelchair. But it wouldn't have been this that caught your attention, but his strength and straightforwardness, as he demonstrated with this now viral video on Facebook.
She is 9 years old, few, but her ideas are really clear: she has broken the boxes of all those who, like us, ignore or do not pay attention to her difficulties. And we are not talking about the difficulties of life, which we cannot even imagine, we are talking about the most direct difficulty in walking on our own sidewalk. Cluttered, full of obstacles, not very suitable for taking her for a walk. And so he decided to send us a message, which resounds loud and clear thanks to his courageous and determined voice.

If you are like Elena, you are already a woman. Not for the physicality, nor for the experience. It is because this little girl already has so much to teach us, and she does it in that explicit and strong way that only women with a capital D can do.
We are used to fighting because to learn to feel good about ourselves, with our "defects", we have to fight with our brain that occasionally pushes us down. We must learn to appreciate what we have, how we are made, and to ignore those models so distant that they are no longer credible.
But there are those who must add many battles to their personal war, like Elena, who must also fight against us, against those who do not know that being free to walk is not so obvious, if you need a few more wheels to walk. .

We stand by his side, reminding ourselves that only together can we change things.
