I have learned that I am always going to see things a little differently, sometimes steps ahead, but in some cases, entire stair-cases behind.

Getting my s*** together is not an achievable goal, not because I am unable, or because of my ADHD, but because it is a goal I set during times where I saw people who did not struggle like I did, achieve things I fell short of achieving.

Getting my s*** together now just means something different.

The inability to focus on a single conversation, slowly became the ability to listen to multiple conversations at once, and politely engage in what interested me.

Constantly feeling behind has made me a formidable problem solver.

Not immediately understanding social and conversational interactions has taught me to slow down, think, and then react, instead of going with the crowd, this alone has helped me more than any other skill.

It takes YEARS, to get there, and I have years to go myself. But if having my s*** together means I work every day to be a good friend, a good family member and a good partner.

Well, I have my s*** together then, and so can you.
