the fun thing abt adhd meds is that sometimes instead of making you focus on the task you actually have to do, they work like love potions do in fiction and you end up focused on the first thing you see when they kick in

One time at dance some rando grabbed me by the waist and told me to dance with him and I told him “if you don’t let go I’m going to bite you” and he didn’t let go so I bit him and that really should be the end of the story but he thought that was funny so I turned around and gave him a donkey kick to the shins and took about a 4 inch strip of skin with me so what I learned that day is when one is without debilitating venom, one must be as a horse do
“be as a horse do” is my new favorite colloquialism.
Be as the snake. He has the kindness to warn of the danger before striking.
Be as the horse. She knows her limits and bends to no one.

This is weirdly encouraging because at some point in life you’ve gotta come to terms with the fact that you’re only a PC in your own story, you’re an NPC to everyone else on the planet.
But that doesn’t mean you have to be “only an NPC.” You can still be an essential and valuable part of other people’s stories.
