Cleaning and deep cleaning is so fucking hard when you’re disabled.

We have all the time in the world to see the dirt, the piles, the clutter: but not the capacity to fix it. You stare at it, day after day, and it stares back. The mess becomes a mirror for all the things you maybe once could control but now can’t.

about feeling defined by illness and disability, and that all I'll ever be is a sick person trying to masquerade as something more.

Brain fog is not an adequate descriptor, actually. Fog can be kinda nice and beautiful and ethereal and refreshing. The thing we’re describing is more like a brain BOG; everything moves slow like you’re wading through water, it’s clunky and heavy and you keep getting stuck in the mud. It’s uncomfortable and inconvenient and everything takes so much effort. You lost a shoe, probably.
