Break the Box

I am legally blind, but I do not fit in with the blind community.  I am physically disabled, but I do not totally fit in with everyone who is physically disabled.  I do not have a diagnosis, so I can not be put into a medical category either.  I can not be boxed, I can not be categorized but none of us should be in a box.  We are not storage; we are people.  But if this is so, why does it scare us so much when we find someone who can't be categorized?  The fact of the matter is I do not know this answer, but what I do know is that it shouldn't scare us because like I always say; we are all people, unboxable  people.  I wish we could all start thinking outside the box because the box is really starting to get in my way.
