Quotes
- The fun of living with a progressive disease, like retinitis pigmentosa — progressive meaning you lose vision slowly over time as your retina, a very important piece of the eye, and its function deteriorates, aka breaks down. So you slowly lose the ability to see. I was born legally blind, so I've always been legally blind — though I consider my childhood my quote sighted years because I could see color, I could read print, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then when I was a child, I slowly would go through spurts of losing vision, and then having my vision stabilize. The majority of my vision loss, which is what I consider myself to have gone blind, is when I was fourteen years old. That was the most significant rapid chunk of my vision loss.

- I don't want to make it seem like once you get to the self-acceptance phase — life is good now! Or once you learn how to cope and accommodate yourself and gain all your skills — life is good now! I don't wanna paint that picture — because, frankly, it's just not true.

- He is so joyful all the time. You know, he made me laugh, he made me smile, and I needed that, and it endeared me to him. But I'm not gonna be like, "Oh, I loved him." I didn't. I didn't. I liked him the way I would like a friend's dog, but he didn't feel like my dog. He felt like a stranger that I was sleeping with. And it's kind like losing the love of your life and starting to date straight away. Like putting this bandaid on a gaping wound — but it's hard to fall in love in the midst of healing.
