the one that represents the belief that your prosthetic leg makes you less desirable that somehow it places you outside the territory of romantic love that the right response is to focus elsewhere to lower your expectations quietly

maybe to protect yourself from a rejection you've pre-decided is inevitable and I want you to hold this belief up to the light of what is actually true right now I want you to think of the people that knew about your leg and pursued you anyway

not out of sympathy and not out of curiosity out of attraction out of genuine interest in you your mind, your energy, your presence the quality of who you are when you're there think about that because if the belief were true

truly, objectively true, this would be impossible.

You can't simultaneously be undesirable due to a physical difference, and then have men desiring you.

These two things cannot both be true at the same time, and what is more likely

is that you are desired.

The leg, it's just been an insecurity, a fear.

Perhaps that those that you truly desire to be with would not desire you because of your leg.

Just allow

these insecurities and fears to reveal themselves for what they truly are, worries.

But you don't need every man that meets your criteria to desire you, just the right one.

And what if your leg, rather than being

An obstacle, a deterrent, actually helps you to find the right person for you.

That any man's inability to see past one thing says everything about their limitations and nothing about your worth.

And why would you want

to be with someone that cannot see beyond something that when it comes to a real relationship is so insignificant you are not less you are not reduced and you are not a consolation prize for someone willing to overlook something

You are a complete, complex, magnetic human being who has built a life of quality and intention, a life of high standards, and you deserve a partner who can see that fully.

So be grateful for that prosthetic.

It filters out any man who is not worthy
