life of a neurodivergent young adult girl

this is a short story about me, and about having ADHD. 

being neurodivergent & finding this out when you're almost an adult is crazy.

i was treated differently by my classmates when i was younger, couldn't filter properly what should I say or not, was always hyperfixating on something (and I still am), and I am always acting impulsively, without thinking twice about it before taking an action.

i have suffered for so long before the diagnosis, cried a lot asking myself why was I so different from everybody else, and what could I do to make my life better for me? 

however, after the diagnosis, and also after doing so much research, i've realized that this is completely fine, and I should not be ashamed of my behavior nor my way of thinking about the world.

i am so much more beyond this attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

and if you, who's reading, is also neurodivergent (whether it's autism, adhd, etc.), you should not be ashamed of yourself, and you should never change yourself to be a people pleaser! that's not you, that's what people want you to be, and that's not fair to yourself!

be yourself and people will like and love you for who you are <3
