A few months ago, I decided to stop using my “Mangatar” avatar on Twitter, and instead uploaded a real pic of myself. It was difficult at first, because I realized I’d gotten used to letting this avatar version of me–the @sunshinemug me–be a little bit sassier and more self-assured. But there was also something good about stepping out from behind the mask and being my real self, maybe just a little bit sassier than she was before.
