Dear T,
Instead of trying to normalize my disability, I really wish you would take the time to understand it first. it is one thing to be tall or short, have an accent, or be a different nationality then someone. Those are things to be celebrated. Having a disability in which everyone notices right away is a different story altogether. People don't celebrate that. And I am sorry but people really do have crappy ways of acknowledging it; it isn't me being overly sensitive. And it makes dating REALLY hard which you are going to HATE hearing me say but that too is sad reality. As a matter of fact, I feel like an abject failure when it comes to that whole scene and this is why.

So please, I just want you to listen and TRY to understand because I know you can't without me telling you. And don't feel too bad - I have already resigned myself to the fact that you will never answer me properly regarding this issue. No one ever has, and it is not fair for me to expect you to, either.

Thx.
