It’s almost a sin to be disabled and to want to be in a relationship with someone who isn’t.

When I was maybe 9 years old, my family spent a week vacationing in southern Spain. We practically lived in the swimming pool at our rented villa, and when we weren’t in the water, we were out walking through the white-stuccoed villages in the beautiful southern sun.
