We tell ourselves that our personalities are defined by our brilliance, curiosity, orneriness, and passion, not our panic, brain fog, or fatigue. We speak of strengths and weaknesses—it’s how we categorize everything—and we never get creative with these. We count among our strengths our strength, and among our weaknesses, our weakness, and the only radicality we can yield to this binary is to invert it, to count what is usually considered weak as maybe some other kind of strength.
