  • So was I. I just did it with humor because I already know it’s normal and why I’m the way I am. I’m illustrating an idea in an attempt to maybe make it “click” for op. Because once an idea click hundreds of dominos fall into place. Many ideas click as a result. At least for me. On click leads to a network of clicks. It’s actually kind of beautiful.

    It’s absolutely strange to me that you all can do that. I’m just not shocked by it anymore. I’m old. I know that I’m the different one and I know why.

    Op isn’t clicking. I approached it “my way” and we’ll see how much clicks for them.

    I feel the need to do a Texas one as a Texan

    Tex: you must be lost

    Person: yes I was traveling…. Looking for… do you know

    Long silence

    Tex: yep… see I knew you were probably lost. When I saw your car I told my buddy bubba over bubba tips his hat “hey bubba I think he’s lost. Probably looking for the highway.” Are ya… looking for the highway that is.

    Person: yes

    Tex: ya. That’s what I figured. (Long silence but right before you say something else) you’re probably gonna want to take that road there. It’ll get you to Edna.

    Person: is the highway in Edna?

    Tex: no, but… you should probably go thru Edna. Less trouble that way. Then you’ll see where the old windmill used to be. Make a left”

    Person: left… to the highway?

    Tex: no… but that’ll get you to fire station

    Person: do I need the fire station

    Bubba laughs

    Tex: bubba! No but you’re going to need their help with the tree that fell back in August . You didn’t really think you could move a tree that size with (gestures judgingly at your car. Regardless of the make or model) that… thing…

    Bubba laughs

    Tex: Bubba!

    Person: uhh okay… thank you… I guess I’ll head to that fire station.

    That conversation took an hour and a half but they fed you. also you have to come back next season because Mary lost her husband and you gotta do your due to help out. Then you end up just living there because after every time you help someone says “I suppose you’ll be off then won’cha. I can’t say I blame ya”

    How can you leave after that?! It’s so passively judgmental!

    Edit (might be adding a hat to hat here but I’m trying to reach peak texan): The good news is you can legally wear cowboy boots now and you measure a lot of thing by “heads” for quantity or “hand” for size. Plus if you ever don’t want to answer a question you can just gaze off into the distance and say “I don’t claim to know but if I’ve learned a damn thing in these dusty years is that you’ll find your answer right out there. when those answers want to find you I can’t rightly say… I’d be a damn fool to try”


  • Damn. One day I’ll meet one.

    It was a joke.

    I have severe ADHD as well. Not everyone has the same symptoms. Good job on keeping your comment short and concise. I can’t do that.

    Do you have trouble memorizing facial features. Can you hold eye contact? Do you know your age without doing math?

    There are so many symptoms one can have with adhd. A lot of us get really frustrated if we have to focus on one thing. I need my podcasts. I’m listening to Robert Evan’s talk about Jamaican slavery while writing this.

    I can’t just do one thing. That’s crazy to imagine. I love listening to nature, I just do it while doing something else. I’m able to focus on both, I have to focus on both.


  • Don’t listen to them. I have severe adhd. Like they have me in training videos back when I was a kid.

    I spend all day everyday with an earbud in my ear. I don’t really like music so it’s podcasts all day everyday.

    You can absolutely experience life fully like this. I walk more than anyone I know. I can point out stars in the sky and how the andromeda galaxy would look in the sky. I watch birds, I walk on the beach every night.

    And other times I just let my mind wonder wherever it goes. I think about my day, the people I care about, how I can do more and better.

    I do it all with an earbud in my ear. Only one, but always one.

    Don’t let people tell you how to live.
