There’s something intoxicating about being chosen, about knowing someone sees you and stays. But there’s also something terrifyingly beautiful about loving first, loving deeply, loving without guarantees. To be loved feels safe. To love feels powerful. Which one makes you feel more alive?

I’ve been kicking myself for not being more ambitious when I was younger, thinking about why didn’t “achieve more.”

The things I’ve thinking about achieving now…weren’t even on my radar about five or six years ago. All I wanted to do was travel, which I did. I also learned, a lot. My knowledge of the world was quite limited. I idea on what was/is possible was so small compared to what I know now.

I’m currently watching the Netflix documentary, How to Fix a Drug Scandal. It’s highlighting issues about drug testing in the state of Massachusetts. The two criminals were known for being stellar at their job, but they weren’t happy with their station in life; this seems to be especially be the case for Sonia Farak.

Two educated, hard-working (at least in college, one of the women was essentially cheating through her job and not doing any true chemical testing) women who should’ve been happy with their lives. I imagine they were getting paid pretty well as they were chemists.

I can’t help but think, if I had been ambitious but didn’t do the internal work I’ve started to do in recent years, I probably would’ve fucked myself over in a similar fashion, as I was quite immature and didn’t have a solid sense of self. I had some growing up to do.

I write this to late my fellow late bloomers know that you’re okay; that the lessons you’ve learned taking a windier road will help you; and lamenting “time wasted” is of absolutely no use.

That said, now might be a good time to start putting those lessons to good use.

Does anyone have a mom who they know has to be ADHD bc like nothing else fits their behavior and their mom sort of agrees? But like doesn't and you get the feeling it's because she sees it as a weakness so you're sort of insulted but more than that you're bummed bc you try to bring up little tidbits of information that you've learned about your own ADHD bc you were diagnosed as an adult and you're Learning. You're ecstatic anytime you learn something about your own weird behaviors but you can't tell her bc she doesn't want to hear it so you just sort of feel like shit bc your ADHD is Annoying to everyone around you but what's new bc you've always been the weirdo
