  • What's it like?

  • Like, what does it actually feel like?

  • Well, it's not always the same.

  • I have good days, bad days, and on my good days, I can, you know, almost pass for a normal person.

  • But on my bad days, I feel like I can't find myself.

  • I've always been so defined by my intellect, my language, my articulation, and now sometimes I can see the words hanging in front of me and I can't reach them and I don't know who I am and I don't know what I'm going to lose next.

  • Sounds horrible.

  • Thanks for asking.
