Some people start conversations with the weather.We start with:“Did you know octopuses have three hearts and blue blood?” It’s not that we can’t do “normal” small talk, it’s that our brains get excited about the things we love, the things we’ve just learned, or the things that fascinate us for no logical reason. And before…
YYou tell yourself every night, “This time, I’m going to bed early.”You mean it. You even start winding down. And then…Your brain does that thing. Suddenly, it flips from sleepy to turbocharged curiosity mode.Every unanswered question you’ve had in the past month starts knocking: Before you know it, it’s 2am. You’re half a documentary in,…
There are days I feel like three completely different people. One part of me craves comfort – the cozy, quiet space where I can stim freely, sip tea, wear pajamas, and just be.Another part of me feels powerful – motivated, brilliant, ready to take on the world with spreadsheets, strong boundaries, and a bold lipstick.And…
Welcome to the inside of a neurodivergent brain:– Tabs open– Thoughts jumping– Sound playing from nowhere– Task? Forgotten.– Vibe? Slight panic. It’s not chaos on purpose.It’s just how our minds work. Bouncing from task to task, trying to hold a hundred ideas, plans, sensory inputs, and snack cravings all at once. What’s Actually Happening? For…
You may not see it…The mental checklist always running.The sensory input piling up like noise behind a wall.The exhaustion after small talk.The spirals of overthinking that start from a single word. You may not see itbut that doesn’t mean it isn’t there. Invisible doesn’t mean imaginary. The effort it takes to function.To mask.To make eye…
Every neurodivergent home has that chair.The one that quietly transforms from a seat…into a laundry pileinto a costume rackinto a blanket caveinto a slightly judgmental symbol of everything you meant to do. But here’s the truth:The doom pile isn’t failure.It’s evidence of trying. Trying to clean.Trying to start.Trying to do a million things with a…
They framed it as a flaw.A list of deficits.A long string of symptoms and struggles. But what if they were wrong? What if your neurodivergence isn’t something to be hidden –It’s something the world desperately needs? Your brain wasn’t built to follow. It was built to invent. Neurodivergent minds are the spark behind movements, inventions,…
When Executive Dysfunction Turns Into Creative Productivity Ever made a to-do list… and then completely forgot it existed? Rediscovered it three days later like a time capsule?Then added “make a to-do list” just so you could check it off? That’s not failure.That’s executive dysfunction -and a brain doing its best with the tools it has….
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.For many neurodivergent people, time doesn’t tick in tidy little boxes. It slips, jumps, collapses, and sometimes… disappears altogether. You meant to leave. You really did.But somewhere between “just one more scroll,” and “wait, where are my keys,” time vanished – and suddenly it’s almost an hour later. 💡…
You grew up being told you were overreacting.Too emotional.Too dramatic.Too much. But what if you were never too anything? What if your brain was just picking up more than theirs could? Let’s be honest… The world isn’t built for people who feel deeply, notice everything, and process it all at once.It’s built for the average….
