There you go. I have no idea what I intended to express. Coming up with the idea takes tortuous stewing and stirring. Getting that same idea “on paper” is a slow, painful process, revisiting the original thought repeatedly to get the next word.

You’re so fortunate to have figured it out that early. I thought I’d “handled” my mental health, 😆and then fibromyalgia added a whole new level of complex difficulty. 🙁
