You Don’t Need to Be Fixed to Be Wanted
You Don’t Need to Be Fixed to Be Wanted
For a long time, many disabled people have been told the same quiet lie: love comes later. After you improve. After you become easier. After you take up less space. That lie doesn’t always come from cruelty—sometimes it comes from silence, from being overlooked, from never seeing yourself reflected in stories about desire. Desired as You Are was written to break that lie wide open.
This book starts with a simple truth: you don’t need permission to be wanted. Desire is not a prize you earn by performing health, confidence, or independence. It’s a human experience you are allowed to have right now. Not someday. Not after progress. Not after fixing anything. Right now.
Desired as You Are is not a dating manual or a set of rules. It’s a mirror. It names the things many people feel but rarely say out loud—fear of being chosen, suspicion when attraction appears, confusion between fetishization and genuine interest, and the deep exhaustion of always feeling like you have to prove you’re worthy of love.
This book is for anyone who has learned to shrink their wants to survive. It’s for those ready to stop waiting and start reclaiming their right to desire and be desired exactly as they are. No fixing required. Coming soon.
