People see who you are now. They don’t see what it took to get there.
Shell and I go there in this one: unrelenting standards, being hard on yourself when you’re actually doing well, falling apart so you can rebuild, and what it’s like getting diagnosed with ADHD as a high achiever who seemed to have it all together.
Shellee masked for 32 years. Her house was spotless. Her brain wasn’t. She describes it as being everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
I share my own side too: the heart scare, losing my fire, the grief that came with my diagnosis, and why I’ve spent my whole life trying to figure out what people need from me.
If you’ve ever felt like you should be further ahead, or wondered why you can change someone’s life but can’t send an email, this one’s for you.
