"It's that they make lemonade out of lemons. Instead of looking at what's hard about it, they look at how to transform your disability into something beautiful, something intimate, something fun, something other than what it is...(because it's not any of those things)... but it can be experienced differently if you have the right person with you."


In part 2 of our "Pity & Perception" conversation we talk through the delicate dynamics of friendships and what it means to us to feel fully seen, considered, and included.
