A note: I have edited a paragraph at the end of this essay to acknowledge the way internalized ableism is present in my experience and is something I'm reckoning with. I literally fell asleep last night with the realization about this and then had a really lovely email from someone about it. Nothing more to add, just that part of this curiosity is exploring all the ways I must let go of the (white) able bodied supremacy complex. Any other notes and feedback are welcome!
