I never thought I'd reach a point in my life where I would have an abundance of lovers and friends who care so much for me and approach me with kindness and support the way I have now.
I've had friends in abundance before, but they often have vanished when my life gets hard. But now it's like "I'm going to come with you to your appointment and make them listen" "I care about the mental load it takes for you to communicate with me, let me lighten the load" "I know it's hard for you to accept affection, lets find a way to work through this together." And that's probably because of my circle is so full of CC and disabled folks who just get it.
