I began @.shadowy.figure so I could:
∞ write candidly about my condition without concern for the reactions of healthy folks
∞ record some of my thoughts in case I fall back into the fog and can’t think again
∞ attempt chronic illness humor
∞ indulge in frivolous wordplay
I had lots of ideas but didn’t know if I would really be able to maintain the energy and focus needed to write them down.
