Dave on Wheels: my new hero

You need to go visit this blog. Stop reading this and go! It's about this amazing guy named Dave, who was born with cerebral palsy and has been deaf and quadipeligic ever since. This guy is smart as a whip and incredibly funny (I'm also now following him on Twitter). He communicates using this device that follows his eye movements when "typing," so don't let the wheels fool you!

So glad the chive posted this!

Despite the lot he's been dealt with, Dave is the most upbeat and positive person I think I have ever come across in my life. Instead of giving up and feeling sorry for himself, he seeks to enjoy every single drop of life. As one person wrote on his blog, he lives more each day than probably any of us.

It's so humbling to read how optimistic this guy is. Seriously, what the hell do I have to complain about?! Stressed about school, jobs, relationships?! No, these are nothing. Dave is so happy and full of love, and it makes me want to really try and be a better person. Much needed after the funk I've been in!

P.S. I caved and bought a ticket home for fall break! This face in 2 days <3
