I don’t think in a line. When you look at water spilled onto a surface, it spreads out in every direction. That’s exactly how my mind works. Linear thinking is actually extremely difficult for me. I feel like a pancake on a flat surface. I’m stretched across many things at the same time. If you ask me to stand vertically, I’ll fall right over. That’s why I don’t want to work a single job and leave it at that.

I’m easily overwhelmed by different things going on. It doesn’t mean I can’t handle it, but I’m much better suited for conducting an orchestra than being part of one. If I have lots of pieces to fit together, I can figure out something that others miss. If I am not overwhelmed, I get bored and can’t function very well. Maybe that’s why I keep so many tabs open on my computer and my brain.

This is a gift, anyone who says a disorder doesn’t understand it. But it’s not always easy to handle. Sometimes I feel like I’m Superman and I have to be careful not to destroy everything I touch. If I’m too careful I destroy myself though. I was way too careful growing up 🙂

I’m learning to find that sweet spot. As my health situation gets better I feel it’s a lot easier to concentrate on writing and music and work than it was before, and I’ve got more and more amazing people in my life.

Basically I’m just saying...it’s all good. I’m still recharging but I’m better than good. An amazing pancake!
