In our choppy, efficient algorithmic world, it’s more important than ever to be slow. Listening to podcasts or videos on 1x speed. Or songs that are 7 min long. If you make art, do it SLOWLYYY. If you write, make that chapter long and yappy. Take one month to finish that drawing or painting. In this world that doesn’t want you to spend any time thinking or doing anything, taking your time is almost an act of resistance. Exist slowly!!!!

i yearn to be held and comforted

The upside to the adhd forgetting that you made yourself a drink thing is thinking to yourself “man I could go for a drink right now” and looking to your right and seeing a drink has appeared there. Thank you, past me. I lost you somewhere but you have still provided.

Now, the issue comes from when you forgot to actually make the drink, and so you look over and see there isn't a drink, because you got up, went to the kitchen, wondered why you went there, and then sat back down.

Or you go to the kitchen to make a drink and do literally anything else but that. Then later you go to the kitchen think hmm where’s that drink I made. YOU DIDNT MAKE ONE.!

Made worse when you see all the things needed to make that drink have been left out, so now you have to put them back in the fridge, otherwise the drink will be lukewarm at best, and by the time they've cooled down enough, you've forgotten again!

Essentially, ADHD is a curse

Absolutely.

If I was an owl, I'd absolutely do this because I forget that I can just turn my head all the way around
