I returned from vacation two weeks ago after spending twelve days visiting friends in Berlin and London. It had been 13 years since I'd left the country and eight since I'd taken more than a four day break from work. This much desired and needed break gave me time to think.
Life with ADHD is difficult and, I think to a great extent will always be so. With this realization comes acceptance. Even with medication, reading many books, and listening to podcasts, for me at least, there have been few aha! moments. I have felt rather a slow acceptance of the condition that has in so many ways defined my life. I feel a deeper understanding of people who openly accept and work with whatever condition or tragedy has been thrust upon them. In the end, after all the anger and sadness cool to an ember, you're still left with the condition and the rest of your life. With that though I also sense the freedom to choose how I want to live and what works for me and my brain.
In that spirit I take up my keyboard and continue my blog.
