I Saw a Hot Guy at Cafe Strada...

and was enjoying the view, when someone in between our tables moved. And in that moment my whole perception of this beautiful stranger changed -- I went from admiring his strong arms to feeling sorry for him and his sickly legs.

He was in a wheelchair.

I started to imagine his story: a man who overcompensated for being disabled by working out a lot, had to slowly navigate his way through Strada's crowded tables, and probably didn't date a lot.

I know nothing about being disabled. Almost all of my ideas about the diverse experiences of disabled peoples are based on ignorance or stereotypes. I'm not sure what I'm going to do to get over this, but finding this video was an interesting start.
