A few things ive been doing recently that help manage my adhd
Not sure if this will help anyone but i've made a list of things ive been working really hard to do to help manage my adhd and general inability to be a functional adult:
Make reminder posters! Get on canva and create personalized posters to put around your room/house to help remind you to do daily things like take your meds, feed pets, take out trash, etc.
Keep a junk notebook! Anything you think of that cant do immediately write it down. If its important it'll help you remember it, if not it saves you from getting distracted or making impulsive decisions. (This is especially helpful if you tend to get distracted when studying!)
CLEAN AS YOU GO! Whether its taking a cup out of your room every time you leave or washing each dish immediately after use. If you can develop this habit it keeps your space so much cleaner!
Have two laundry bins: one for worn but not dirty things and one for dirty things. It limits what ends up on your floor!
Make use of bins. I have several around my apartment that I use for things that dont have a home. Once those bins are full, I go through them and discard or find a permanent home for them.
Don't study/work at home. Even if it means buying a $5 coffee just so you can sit in a spot and effectively work, its much better than getting so behind on tasks you get overwhelmed.
It takes some work to develop habits and im far from perfect with all of these, but if I can do these things even 3 days a week it makes a huge difference!

I’m oh so many years late but I just realized that Perry the Platypus’ song said “semiaquatic EGG LAYING mammal of action” and not “Eight Legged mammal”.
the song wasn’t even playing, I was just singing it to myself and realized he doesn’t have 8 legs.

how can a person know everything at 18 but nothing at 22 (almost 24)
warning: im writing this while im on my period and eating ice cream.
i've been dissociating for what now? half a year maybe more. i dont recognize reality. i feel im floating in this sea we call society and i've been feeling the wilson of the story here. i assume everything that's happening around me is real, ofc. but that doesnt make it any less a convenient arrangement i build for myself to try to act like a real person and not freak out. i am feeling out of reality. like the part of the game where you let the sim on auto-mode. i am the sim on auto-mode. and i don't know how to stop this stage of oblivion.
to make a vague introduction, the thing with me is that im a living paradox of a full time contradiction. i am flamboyant but i hate being perceived. i like to speak up for myself but i hate people thinking about me because of it. i have my own process of how i understand things. i trust logic and i question everything. im quite skeptical over things when there's no empirical evidence. i seek for knowledge. critical thinking, data analysis and the whole stuff. i know myself. i sometimes look like i am too obnoxious, frivolous, morally corrupted (people have told me that), when i obsess over something —because i sometimes treat people like they are stupid (not my intention really)—; but probably the only thing im completely sure of is myself. i tend to be a confident person, to have an ego, to not let the guard down, to calculate every single move. and lately i am noticing myself being impulsive, insecure, nervous, weird, saying stupid shit, nonsenses, feeling small. and i don't know how to make it stop. the thing is i put my whole self-esteem backed up by my intelligence, however im not sure of anything anymore. i don't know if the reason behind not recognising myself lately is the fact i have somehow a new crush —or a new hyperfixation for that matter— or just the natural act of growing, also known as the quarter life crisis.
i have this thing where i hyperfix on random stuff, i've been like this my whole life. one of my friends even made a powerpoint of all the things i've been obsessed with over the years. and the issue here is that this things never last that much, or maybe they do? i actually never though about it. the most random ones i remember are probably me buying ice-cream cakes of this specific brand every week for two months. i also got obsessed with eating too many scrambled eggs all day every day for a very long time. then it was that turkish telenovela on an airing channel. then ofc succession, and it grew into watching every single movie kieran culkin was part of. the world cup. mbti —im intj by the way—. red white and royal blue (i watched it five times in a day), then nicholas galitzine —did yk he has a lineage that comes all the way from the romanovs?— and his entire filmography. and also politics, i got way into politics; election campaigns, follow up candidates, history, economy, the law, etc (my candidate lost tho) (we're succumbing to disgrace) (like literally we collectively, as a country, haven't had any kind of good news since then) (please help me). and etc etc. but the thing is, i also hyperfix on random people, or not so random i guess. it doesnt happen very often tho, im quite picky, but the procedure is this: i meet someone, they draw somehow my attention, i want to know everything about this person, i talk to this person a lot (medium to long term) (week to months), and then this person becomes my friend or i get bored and completely ignore them for the rest of my life and move on.
but this time is different, or im feeling it different. i find myself questioning everything i know and i was convinced of. i dont know if it has something to do with the fact that i met someone, probably the first person wise enough to make me question if i was ever correct about anything. maybe i am hyperfixating on this person, idealizing them. but it's truly amazing how much more data this person has about everything i know of. and right now i feel way too insecure, because even if this person told me they find me smart and they enjoy talking to me, i am always thinking that if i say something not completely fact-checked they'll think im stupid. it's absurd. it's a boohoo situation, i know. and it's a process im having about who am i, or what am i supposed to be. some months ago the whole context around my life changed or i think it changed? i dont know how to explain it, —i mean i know how but i would have to talk about other things not related to this (politics stuff, things happening in my country, etc). i'll probably will make a new post about it someday—. but the whole issue is, i dont know myself anymore. and everything is crumbling.
im afraid the person i build for myself it's a fraud. or doesnt exist anymore.
i remember myself at 18, and i was this marvellous whole person. independent, smart, focused, driven. that girl spent their whole days outside her house. did everything she wanted to. wasnt scared of anything. and i look at myself now and think how? the pandemic has a lot to do with it i guess, but when i first heard taylor saying that in nothing new i thought "that wont happen to me". guess what, i was wrong.
for my fellow girlies being 23 —in my experience— is exactly how they say it will be. the worst age of your life.
next month is my birthday and im pushing 24. and i have to say my life is a mess. but i dont know if i can call it a mess because it is truly a mess or because i am a complete drama queen. because people probably have worse problems than mine, and i am what you call a white girl, only poorer —and a third world country citizen—. the issue is, i am almost 24, almost 25. almost 27. ALMOST 30. and i did nothing with my life. absolutely nothing. my mom had me at 29 for god's sake.
and by nothing i mean everything i do is not enough to feel it worthy of a life well-lived. should i look for a job and work while studying just to say i am extremely occupied because i have somehow a life? just to feel something? even if that makes my stress situation and anxiety even worse? should i somehow save enough money so i can move from my parents house? even if for my whole generation it's close to impossible? is studying something i (kinda) like enough to not feel like shit about myself? i've never had a boyfriend, nor girlfriend. shoud i look for one? get myself one? even if i dont think any of that would make me happy? i dont think i know happiness as a state of mind, nor the concept of it.
i dont feel like i have many anecdotes to tell in my future. should i measure the life-worth by anecdotes? my friends feel the same way i do, but they have a more organized life. jobs, boyfriends, careers, plans for the future, one of my closest friends move to the other side of the world with her boyfriend (!) in the blink of an eye. but they aren't much happy nor they have many anecdotes either. and i dont have the money or the guts or the available friends to create any.
every day i understand fleabag a bit more.
my favourite anecdotes about my life are from when i was about 13 and 15 years, also known as the worst time of my life. i didnt appreciated it back then, probably none of us did. but when we were teens everything was possible and we didnt have a care on anything other than mundane stuff or rebellious stuff but nothing more than yelling at people, drinking and smoking weird shit (i never had weed tho). not a real responsibility. being careless, free, avoiding consequences that mattered. i think that girl hates me right now. and i am not sure if that's the feeling i should have or if it's just utterly pathetic.

Early 20s are about making the wrong decisions, studies and jobs, fucked up relationship with almost everyone except that one friend and crying on social media

27 and (still) single
so I finish reading namaaz with my mom. and I go and change into comfier pjs. I put some bio oil on my face. I grab my notebook from the bottom drawer of my side dresser and my markers. I come downstairs. I put the kettle on to boil some water for my tea. I am wearing my comfiest red sweater. My hair pulled back into a loose messy low bun as always. I sit on the couch in the family room. I start writing a new page in my notebook. I start each page with the date and time. So today, March 17, 2024; 10:42pm. My water has finished boiling. I go to the kitchen and grab a tea cup, the one with the little yellow flowers on it. I get a tea bag from the tea drawer I organized weeks ago, but it’s already messy again. I put the tea bag in the cup and pour my water. I set the tea to steep. I go back to my seat in the family room. And continue writing as my tea begins to steep. I write Dear Allah, . And I start writing down my thoughts. I ask, I plan, I wonder, I write, I think, I worry, and I get a lump in my throat. So today, I am 27 and (still) single. I might be single for a very very long time or a very very short time after this passage of writing. Only Allah knows. And I have to be okay with that.
🤞on the very very short time
Ps. If you see this, please make dua for me. For the girl in the red sweater, drinking tea sitting in her family room writing letters to Allah.

Hi Femme! I'm someone in my early 20s preparing to job-hunt. I want to ask for your thoughts... are 3 months worth of one undergrad internship worth it to head straight into entry-level jobs? It's been a dilemma of preparedness that I've been mulling over lately :') thank you if answered, and have a good day ahead
Hi love!
Yes, I believe an entry-level job should be entry-level. Share how your relevant internship/academic and extracurricular experiences have helped you acquire XYZ skillsets (hard and soft skills) and how these skills will make you a value-add if hired for XYZ role.
Also, don't underestimate the importance of showing your enthusiasm for the role, company, team, industry, and all company-related goals. Passion, adaptability, and a desire to learn/implement new skills/knowledge right away at this stage of your career can help tremendously.
Best of luck, and hope this helps xx

The worst thing about your 20s is grappling with the lump in the back of your throat and knot in your stomach when all you want to do is go back home but you don’t know where or even what home is anymore

Being in my 20s is like I understand more of adulting and less than I ever have. It’s a lot of, “What am I doing?, Am I doing enough?” And constantly feeling like I’m running out of time. My childhood friends are almost strangers to me yet, there's no one I know better. I want to drink wine. I never stopped wanting to climb trees or go down slides. I know more than l have ever known before. I don't know anything at all. I’m seven years old and sixteen and twenty one and 50. I believe the only thing that will make me truly happy is to be little again but I also want to live a long and full life. I anchor deeper into who I am but there is still so much I need to learn about her. I spend time with the people I love most and feel like nothing matters more than that. I want to go home but I don't know where that is. I think it may be somewhere inside of me but i'm not sure.

I don’t wanna think. Not just about college, but in general. My brain is way too overwhelmed with real life. All I wanna do is go on Tumblr, look at pictures that I find pretty, pretend it’s 2014 and get lost in my delusions.

Space Cowboy
Tumblr media
I wrote this song while watching Cowboy Bebop.
He said he's going for a ride He doesn't know where But he's got charm, so I laughed it off He's leaving this world alone At least that's what he said So I entertained it and sang: See you space Cowboy Hope you find what you're looking for in the galaxy Take your saddle and go Just let me know when you come back 'Cause I will be waiting
