    To my disabled friends

    A letter filled with love.

    I miss you when we can’t be together.
    (I’m sorry that this world takes everything, will take everything we have.)

    I think about you often, especially when you’re sick, and hiding from me.

    Your care, gentleness and generosity have expanded and remade my world and me.
    (Your knowledges otherwise, your art: don’t sell it for less than it costs you.)

    Thank you for choosing to travel with me, when I have not been enough and also too much.

    Thank you for joy.
    I love laughing with you, and surviving without you was no fun.

    I feel like maybe holding each other is the best thing that I want to do.

    Love,

    Holly

    We acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. The University of Sydney – where we write, publish and distribute Honi Soit – is on the sovereign land of these people. As students and journalists, we recognise our complicity in the ongoing colonisation of Indigenous land. In recognition of our privilege, we vow to not only include, but to prioritise and centre the experiences of Indigenous people, and to be reflective when we fail to be a counterpoint to the racism that plagues the mainstream media.
