So, I have an update. Have you ever imagined the unimaginable? I am still a little shocked, and it has not yet sunk in. I have been accepted to a Ph.D. program at York. I cannot put how I am feeling into words. I remember when I was a kid, I saw so many child psychologists because of my…

I can say that over the years, time has really shown me what is important. Maybe that’s why there are momets when time can become a fixation for me. It feels like if I am not early, I am late, and that’s if I even remember. My mom always told us, “If you’re on time,…

It has been a while since I posted; honestly, there is no excuse. I have been busy, yes, but that is usually when I thrive. The issue is living in limbo without a plan; that freaks me out. I know first-world problems. I have a roof over my head, a job, food… nothing to complain…

Damn, you brain. I have stated before that I only realized my intelligence less than five years ago. I know this sounds wild, but it’s my reality. I sometimes feel like I have two brains, one that is driven and hyper-focused and another that is scattered and struggles to recall words or remember the most straightforward fact.…

I am at a crossroads. I jumped and took a leap of faith, unsure of where I would land. This, for some, is exhilarating, but for me, it is unsettling. I plan everything, literally everything.

You may wonder what she is going on about, especially given the gaps in my posts. For that, I apologize. I promise to try to do…

Have I told you that my ADHD makes me special? It makes me very smart, an expert of sorts in things that interest me or that I am passionate about. Have I told you how it makes me function like the energizer bunny until my batteries run dry? Unless, of course, I am passionate about what I…

I did it… I can officially check it off… it was not as bad as I thought. Was it a lot? Yes. Were the 100’s of people a lot to deal with, given I hate crowds? Yes, but I survived. I admit I did retreat to corners of the room on occasion, but I lived…

I will start this post by quoting a wise woman I met in London, Ontario, in 1996, “Like it, or lump it,”… and thank you for the man you played a part in raising; he is a keeper. Hey, I am back! I took a typical ADHD hiatus. These are not planned but seem to…
