You are amazing. But many don't understand the ADD/ADHD mind. So
you can tell them ...
The ADD/ADHD mind is no more than this:
A heroic soul born desperately in need of sensation.
To you ... a moment is an eternity, a rule is a tyranny, a
process is a purgatory, a joy is an ecstasy, a daydream is a
vision, a hazard is a playground, silence is suffocation, and
completion is death.
Add to this brutally expansive spirit the overwhelming need to
risk, create, and express -- so that without the creating of
music or poetry or books or businesses or buildings or something
of meaning, your very breath is cut off ...
You must create, must pour out your entire being in creation. By
some strange, unknown, inward urgency you do not feel alive
unless you are intimately involved in the risk of self-
expression.
Thank you for having the courage to create.
For without your creations
the world would grow dull and listless
And the rest of us who are like you
would not have your courageous act to lean on
to inspire our own.
Rock on,

Thank you Jen, this is great. In my cosmology, nothing is ever created to be wrong. So however our brains and bodies and emotions are configured provides some perfect facet of the jewel that is humanity. The problem, as you rightly point out, is in making it bad. It seems to me that much of what we deem problem behavior needs to be met with non-resistance. Find out where the river wants to flow and help it go there.
