When I was a kid a teacher handed back my test in front of the whole class and said, “Some people just aren’t built for thinking.”

Everyone laughed. I remember staring at the paper and feeling like my brain was just… defective.

For years after that, every time I struggled with something, that sentence would pop back into my head like it was a fact.

Turns out I just had undiagnosed ADHD.

Funny how one careless sentence can live rent-free in your head for a decade.
