I continue to wear a #mask for myriad reasons (my kid’s asthma, people are gross, the cancer patients I work with, my coffee breath is preferable to the other aromas floating around the hospital and other places, my personal satisfaction to be able to mouth profanities, the air of mystery and intrigue that comes with my coworkers never having seen my full face, et al.)

But my favorite reason is that I want others who continue to #maskup, for their own reasons, to know they’re not alone.
