The ADHD Watermelon Theory perfectly explains executive dysfunction. Neurotypicals see a delicious fruit and think, "I want a snack."
My ADHD brain sees a 15-pound administrative obstacle course involving heavy lifting, knife safety, kitchen logistics, sticky counter mitigation, and Tupperware geometric planning. So instead, I will starve.
It took me 8 years of overthinking, burnout, and self-judgment to realize what I’m about to tell you in 2 minutes.
This is how neurodivergent minds - the anxious, the hyper-focused, the “too intense” ones - were never broken:
This is free advice from an expensive psychologist. If you’re an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Don’t make everything a matter of life and death.
If Nashville’s doing this on a random Wednesday to celebrate being awarded the Super Bowl four years from now, I can’t imagine what that week’s going to look like.

Andrew Huberman: "Someone I really respect said this, 'There are basically two kinds of people in life. Winners and losers.' And the definition is this—losers take things that happen to them... and the wallow and they use it for self or outward destruction."
"Winners take whatever they feel, it sucks, and they transmute it into things that are good for themselves and for the world."
It’s insane Arthur Smith is not apart of this list.
- when he was at the Titans the offense was the best it’s ever been.
- understands this ownership and the people
- has learned a lot since his stint in ATL
He would be a great HC for the titans.

Did you know pigs turn into boars when they’re released into the wild? Apparently it’s by intelligent design, I wonder if the same would happen to humans.
