https://darlingbecky.me/2015/06/27/marriage-equality
Born as I am, Deaf and Proud. June 27, 2015. November 28, 2015. Today I woke up to see news that the Americans are celebrating their new announcement ‘Marriage Equality’. Well done America, good on you America and good on Hilary for sharing such a beautiful video on Marriage Equality… She’s won my vote. America is the 19th country in the world to see marriage as equal. Yet here in Australia we are not among the 19 countries. The same reason I have stopped calling my partner ‘my husband’. I don’t se...

Why I want my children to have a deaf teacher…. – Born as I am, Deaf and Proud.
https://darlingbecky.me/2015/06/28/why-i-want-my-children-to-have-a-deaf-teacher
Born as I am, Deaf and Proud. Why I want my children to have a deaf teacher…. June 28, 2015. November 28, 2015. I remember when I first met a deaf adult I think I was about 12. It was so long ago…. I remember meeting this young deaf lady who could sign a little bit but meeting her I was in awe…. My life revolved around hearing people back then. I had no one to tell me that it was ok to be deaf. When I was 17 I did a TAFE course with other deaf students and I had 2 teachers, they both were deaf. It just m...

I do shred tears…. – Born as I am, Deaf and Proud.
https://darlingbecky.me/2015/05/31/i-do-shred-tears
Born as I am, Deaf and Proud. I do shred tears…. May 31, 2015. June 1, 2015. Yesterday I sat in a cafe and sobbed… my heart was shattered. I felt sad for my boy. I can’t make anything better, I can’t change the world for him. I can’t protect him from society. I can’t rewind yesterdays. I can only continue to love him and help him deal with his overwhelming emotions. Naps was not in his vocabulary. He would lie there and scream, scream and scream. Co-sleeping was discovered then. Yes, and it took us a whi...

Born as I am, Deaf and Proud. Bali… Nusa Lembongan Island. October 4, 2015. November 28, 2015. A friend asked us to come out to Nusa Lembongan’s island for the day along with some other people. We thought why not and take the chance to explore a bit more of Bali’s natural beauty. There was no road rage… I never saw a road rage once during those 12 days in Bali and I see a road rage almost everyday in Australia. I used to surf when I was younger and I hope to surf again someday. I tried to get back on...

25 things I love… – Born as I am, Deaf and Proud.
https://darlingbecky.me/what-do-i-love
Born as I am, Deaf and Proud. 25 things I love…. 1 I love how the sun warmed my back… ‘hugging me’. I love a skinny latte and sit in the cafe sipping my latte while I allowed my mind to wander. I love feeling loved, by anybody, even my children, my friends… I love looking at them knowing they love me. My favourite word is love, I just. Love ‘love’. Life is empty without love. I love my tattoos. they may be ugly for some people but for me I love them because it is who I am and each tattoo have a story.

Born as I am, Deaf and Proud. What is it really like to be depressed? July 9, 2015. November 28, 2015. A while ago myself, my partner and two friends were talking about mental health in general… a question came up… Depression, is it a taboo? 8230; after they left, I wondered and wondered. I try to remember when was the last time we really had a conversation about mental health? In general, especially about deaf people? 8216;I am aware of mental health and doing my duty for my community’. She found it ext...
