When I say I can’t get to sleep until 5am to normal people and they’re like “omg just lay down earlier” and I go “you mean like at midnight when I turn everything off except my brain and then I’m just up”
IF YOU THINK PEOPLE WITH ADHD SMOKE WEED JUST TO “GET HIGH” - YOU HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A BRAIN THAT NEVER SHUTS THE FUCK UP, HAS 147 DIFFERENT TABS OPEN, 3 SONGS PLAYING SIMULTANEOUSLY, CREATING 4 NEW BUSINESS IDEAS BEFORE NOON, AND STILL SOMEHOW FORGETTING WHY WE WALKED INTO THE KITCHEN.
SOME OF US AREN”T TRYING TO “GET HIGH” - WE’RE SIMPLY TRYING TO TURN THE VOLUME DOWN.
one of the hardest things to accept is that some people will never know how much they meant to you. they'll move on, make new memories, and keep living their life. meanwhile, you're still thinking about moments they probably forgot a long time ago
Some avoidant people don't realize how much their behavior is hurting a relationship while it's happening. They only understand it later, when they look back and reflect on what happened.
I chose. All the time. I chose them & us every time. Even when I had to give pieces of myself away in exchange I still chose without hesitation…
Only to not be chosen in the end.
But sometimes that’s how life goes.
And we can still appreciate the memories & learn the lessons
i want to double text you. i want to send you a random thought when it crosses my mind. i want to tell you something funny the second it happens.
i don’t want to sit there calculating response times so i can appear emotionally detached.
if liking someone means i have to act uninterested all the time, then what exactly are we doing here?
actually, i lied.
i also want to receive flowers when i least expect them. i want constant reassurance, random calls, random dates, random gifts, love letters, and forehead kisses. i want quality time, long hugs, and deep conversations. i also want to experience being surprised on my birthday. to be photographed not because i handed you the camera, but because you truly wanted to. i want to be reminded that i am loved right, and that you're proud to have me.
ADHD is not being able to do your own laundry for 2 weeks but helping a friend move an entire apartment in one day because external accountability activates your brain in ways personal responsibility does not.
It’s so attractive when people apologise for responding late. or when they keep you in the loop so you don’t start overthinking. the skill of communication is very attractive. basic consideration these days, it stands out cause so many people just disappear and leave you guessing
Really trying to work hard through my own personal growth and therapy to make sure I’m not failing in the areas I know I didn’t recognize before. To make a conscious effort to be better.
A healthy relationship will test you more than a toxic one. Because it won't let you run. It holds up a mirror and says: Show up. Communicate. Grow. Swallow the pride, It's a repeated choice to stay and work it together. Even when it's hard and ugly. That's why real love scares people so much in this generation.
My own cup is empty. This is why I am currently unable to pour into others. If anyone cares about me, this is the time to pour into me. Even the strongest soldiers sometimes get vulnerable and need rest.
