 How do you ask an amputee what happened to their leg without being a weirdo? Well, if you have to ask, here's a good recipe. I had a really positive interaction with someone the other day asking me about my story and I wanted to share it with you. So I was sitting in a coffee shop journaling and a guy came up to me and said, hey, I was walking in the bathroom. I noticed that you have a prosthetic leg on. It looks really cool. I was just wondering if I can ask you how it happened because I'm curious. I love that. Of all the ways I've been asked what occurred, that's probably my favorite. If someone asks, if they can ask, right? Because sometimes there is this assumption that you have a right to someone else's story just because they look different than you and that, my friends, is not accurate. So if you do wanna ask someone, I find this personally to be my favorite way when people approach me, ask if you can ask and listen to their response.
