... an acceptance I am not ready to give. There is an in-between, and a back and forth. I don't want to make the best of it, not yet. For now, I grieve.

From the fine art photographic series, Lemonade. My life with chronic illness and disability. #MECFS

I do something similar. I tell them there are too many smokers around for me. I then say, "I mean, their bodies, their choice, of course." Watch their brain try to reconcile the fact that smokers have actually been saying "my body my choice" for a hundred years.
