Life of a Blind Girl

This post is a combination of a life update from me, and sharing an experience that I hope might bring comfort to a fellow perspective future guide dog handler.

Oh look at that, the 2026/27 football season is underway, and I’m back with yet another matchday blog post.

Whether you’re disabled or not, you’ve probably seen the following before.

There’s no doubt about it, disabled people are used to having to prove others wrong.

It’s wild to think that blogging introduced me to my best friend Elin back in 2015.

If you’re a long-time reader, the title of this blog post may have jogged your memory that I’m on the waiting list for a guide dog.

I’ve come to document my football match experiences on my blog, so I’m adding to that growing collection today.

I’ve wanted to pen this piece for a good few weeks now.

I’ve spoken on here a number of times about disability and identity.

As I publish this, we’re a few days in to 2026.

Attending a Lionesses match at Wembley Stadium has been on my bucket list since women’s football found its way into my life.

Disability has always been part of my life.
