The real thing with ADHD is not “I forgot”, but that forgetting is this ongoing process. I remembered! And then I forgot.
At ten this (hypothetical) morning I remembered that I have a meeting at six. And then from 11 through 3 I worked on other stuff and had zero thoughts about that meeting. Maybe even thought about what I was gonna do with my evening at home. Got attached to the idea of taking the time to make a good dinner, maybe play some video games.
And then at three I said, “Oh! Fuck!” and remembered again, hopefully long enough to set an alarm. And then I went to the bathroom and remembered that I need to clean the counter and spent twenty minutes cleaning the bathroom and went to get a snack and then at five I said, “OH! FUCK!” and had to scramble to dress like a real adult and get out the door.
It isn’t one clean forgetting. It’s a constant process of forgetting and then, with an exhausting adrenaline spike, remembering. And then forgetting. Baby, I can forget the same thing more times in a day than you ever forgot your parents’ anniversary.
Art museums, fancy restaurants with an outdoor sitting, satin silk dresses, perfume, wine glasses and pretty views.
Are you ever just up for hours in the middle of the night wondering whats so wrong with you that you can’t have someone to lean on at 2am when your life feels like its falling apart? Currently sitting in a lawn chair talking to the stars
If you know me irl and are actually reading this, I’m on my period and probably am being a good bit dramatic, plus you don’t live close enough to be here anyways
on my hands and knees sobbing bc wolverine(s) constantly questioned his self worth and sense of belonging, has tried convincing everyone including himself that he’s a lone wolf when he’s a pack animal, considered himself nothing but a killer destined to die alone (if he even could), and thought of himself as an ugly unlovable thing just for deadpool 3 to be like ‘actually logan howlett is so important to the integrity of the xmcu that reality began to collapse in his absence’ and give the “worst” wolverine (aka a version who couldn’t save his friends and now lives in isolation) a home
