Lockhart's Twitter profile does not conceal her status as disabled, but neither does it make a point of it. What is the message? The message? We are all multifaceted, and that our physical and identity selves are not all that appear. I do not want this to define me I don't want to be a disability influencer where it's the only thing I discuss because there are many different aspects to my life. Lockhart states in video form from her house in Nashville. The issue doesn't affect my everyday activities. I conduct doing my job as normal and have found my own methods to adjust. It's a big aspect of my existence, and it's imperative that we talk about it. Lockhart inspires us to keep going with self-acceptance. Lockhart admits to having been through phases in her life with her physique, feeling uncomfortable in certain situations wearing clothes that showed the arms of her. She now wears whatever she'd like. And she posts pictures on social networks. She says that self-love is a journey. It's hard to say if you'll ever reach the end. The same is true for everybody regardless of levels of anxiety. It's important to be surrounded by people who can really see the person you are.
