We all have multiple aspects and that we are all unique and we're beyond our physical bodies. Lockhart speaks through video from Nashville. "I do not wish for it to dictate my existence. I'm not looking to only be known as a disability expert. However, it doesn't affect my daily living. I still do all my normal activities and have adjusted to the limitations of my disability. But it's also a part of me and I feel it's important to talk about. Lockhart is a true source of motivation for self-acceptance generally, is on a long road to reach it. She has been through times when she felt uncomfortable in the way she dressed and showed her arms. Nowadays, she dresses whatever she wants and posts pictures of herself in these outfits on social media, she is proud of herself. Self-love for her was an extended trip. The same is true for everybody, no matter what their degree of self-confidence. It's important to surround yourself with people who can identify and feel your heart.
