Our identities are multifaceted and we contain many different dimensions. Lockhart in a video message sent from her Nashville home, says that I don't wish for that to be a part of myself. I am more than my physical self. My everyday life isn't directly affected by disability. I go about my regular day-to-day life and discover my own solutions to problems. It's also part of me so I think that it's crucial to speak about. The journey of self-acceptance that Lockhart has taken is one that will last an entire lifetime. She has been a source of inspiration for this purpose. Still she admits she's gone through phases of her body, at times, being unsure about wearing particular types of clothes which showed the arms of her. She now wears any outfit she wants and posts pictures on Facebook in awe. The self-love she talks about is a journey. It's not clear when you'll reach the final stage. It's the same for everybody regardless of how much they are afraid. The people you surround yourself with, who know you and see through your eyes are the most important people to remind you of what you're worrying about.
