Eccentric
I think before the 2000’s, the community would have just labelled me, “eccentric.”
I started writing a thing, earlier today. Accidentally clicked on a notification instead of swiping it away, and lost everything I’d worked out.

I managed two rounds of chelation this month, before burning my adrenals out.

I had a conversation with a friend today, in which I divulged both, “I am actually Alice’s Mad Hatter come to life,” and “I’ve been having more moments I’d call clairvoyance lately,” in nearly the same sentence.
I think before the 2000’s, the community would have just labelled me, “eccentric.”
Actually, I kind of like it.
