You wanna know what (my) ADHD is like?

ADHD is deciding you want to work on one of your WIPs so you grab a coffee and head to the library because it’s a change of scenery and it’s quiet, but you already had your AirPods in when you got there, so you spend the first fifteen minutes making trying to find the song that sounds suspiciously similar to the one you’re already listening to before you actually start writing.

Everything is going smoothly and flowing well until you have to fact-check something and while you’re looking for the answer you stumble across a TikTok video you made (because you use TikTok for fact/accuracy checking) and then you start scrolling through other videos you have made and find one that did really well, basically a collection of pictures of your favorite actresses, so you decide to make an updated version and you start alternating between Pinterest, Instagram, and Google to find photos.

Trying to find the perfect photos takes way longer than you expect because you find photos you think would be useful for other projects and you are also having to make sure the photos you chose for this project are the best quality, and during that process, you realize the lighting that is coming through the window where you’re sitting is really good so you snap some selfies and then you go back to looking for photos but then you notice a wholesome interaction between who you assume is a father and a daughter and you just have to write about it and then you can go back to looking for pictures.

At some point, you start thinking about buying a camera because you’ve been wanting one for years so you do about five minutes of “research” (looking up “best cameras for beginners” on TikTok and then doing a quick google search) before adding a camera and a lens to your amazon cart, but then you look at the total and think “that’s a lot of money” so you look up when cameras go on sale because the only sale you can think of is Black Friday/Cyber Monday and it’s currently February and you find there is usually a sale in July/August so you set a reminder in your calendar and move the two items in your amazon cart to your wish list.

After all of that, you switch back to the story you were supposed to be working on and you realize it’s been over two and a half hours, you’ve written 100 words for your work in progress, written a 186-word account of the wholesome interaction you witnessed, got nowhere near finishing the TikTok video you were working on, your music has changed from sad piano playlist to the playlist you listen to when you want to feel like the badass main character, you talked yourself out of buying $600 worth of camera equipment, and you are about to poop your pants from finishing your Dunkin cold brew over an hour ago.

ADHD is also being unaware that you were so deep into the hyperfocus zone until you’re sitting in your car and you return to reality and you remember that other people are not just NPCs.

ADHD is also coming back to edit this because you realized no ADHD person is going to want to read that long of a paragraph (including me) 🤦‍♀️ It still big paragraphs but it’s a bit better now imo

Me: I'm gonna craft!

This brain that’s failing quizzes and can’t hold attention to anything can’t be the same brain that would speedrun textbooks and scored top of my class in college/undergrad

I just tried to tidy up my stuff and then I saw a bouquet of flowers somebody gave me after my last performance several months ago and the flowers had since dried so I took them out and sorted them and picked off loose leaves and tied them into bundles and tied the bundles to a lil stick I have in my room and hung the stick from a hook on my closet door and scrubbed the rust out of the little galvanized metal vase and then tried to oil it and realized that that was a terrible choice and rinsed it out and dried it and put my pencils in it and then went to soak the old pencil mug. Anyway you could say I'm easily distracted

'My sun shall rise in the East, so shall my heart be at peace' sings Jon & Vangelis. The man on the radio is not the usual man on the radio for this time of day.

Here with the apple blossoms with feet far away on endless sands heading to an empty horizon. Blue, blue skies, garments fluttering toward the place of origin. 'Remind me why we came' ...

Doesn't matter who you are, we're all in this together ... the best suction you could possibly want ... do you need care in your home? ...

Intrusive, endless adverts ... so now the radio is off and the man on the radio who was not the man on the radio I was expecting can only be heard distantly from the kitchen radio.

Another Sunday ... lather, rinse, repeat ...

Wasted my entire day in CAS and finding new presets to use (also I got distracted)

Me, pausing the TV because something on my phone caught my attention:

My TV, turning itself off after an hour disuse:

Me: "Hey, I was watching that!"
