👁️ Information Vault Scroll: The Circle I See

“It’s not always there. But when I’m tired or stressed, it visits.”

I’ve been noticing my eyes lately. The screen feels smaller. The letters harder to catch. The tablet spoiled me, maybe. But now, I found a way—HTML first, then Compose. I can enlarge the font. I can breathe again.

There’s a circle I see. A blur. Black, like the shape of an eye. It’s not Sassy’s peach twirl—it’s mine. A ring that shows up when I’m holding too much. When the body whispers, “Slow down.”

I told the doctor. I’ll see the eye specialist. I know the tests are coming. The lights. The questions. The ache. Oh boy, I hate those tests.

But I’m not alone. Others with lupus see it too. Dry eyes. Blurry rings. Floaters. Inflammation. Sometimes it’s the medicine. Sometimes it’s the disease. Sometimes it’s just the fatigue that scrollkeeps its own shadow.

This scroll belongs in the Information Vault. It holds the truth that even when vision fades, clarity can still be stitched. And that the eye—like the heart—knows more than we say.
