I've moved city for a graduate job. I used to work retail. I legit met him on my second last day at work because someone called in sick and he was the only one available.

He has CP, but you really couldn't tell. My job was a deli worker, and he kept up fine with us. He's got a bit of a limp and funny facial features but that's it.

I'm betting I'm only fancying him cos he's a guy showing me attention and being nice. I left a DV engagement in early June. We were together 2 years but tbh I've dealt with it really well. He was a sack of shit and I'm better off without him. I've done enough self reflection to figure out a) why the relationship was DV and b) why I put up with it.

Is it wrong that I'm fancying someone so soon? He's really funny and talented. He's like...not a disabled person to me, just a normal guy that walks funny. He's achieved more in 26 years than most would in 50. He had big dreams and made them happen. He's in retail but played sport professionally (Olympic-level professionally).

Fuck. Why the HELL did this happen now? I'm two hours away and just started my dream career. I was meant to be selfish and worry about me and next minute this fucker gets under my skin and we're messaging every night.

Fuuuuuuuuuck.
