ADHD is my superpower. Music is my salve. Books are my escape. Travel is my stimulant. Family is my touchstone. Love is everything.

So damn powerful.
I don’t think you ever completely get over that kind of betrayal. They’re not still trying to be friends with you are they? They fuck off with that bullshit
I dream of the day.
