picnic

reclined on a red gingham blanket at the top of a hill at a public park as the sun sets, passing around a bottle of rose, eating cheese and bread and hearing different people's music and laughter merging together!!!

im 30 and this is deep

This could change when I hit 40 (lmao), but the older I get, the more confident I know who I am. I feel more and more sure of myself, and less and less concerned with how others view me. My life is my own, and comparing it to other's is a disservice to myself and the path I'm now on. Do I still experience guilt, regrets, doubt? Of course I do. Do I know what I'm doing with my life? I might have less of a clue than I did in my twenties. Do I still feel like a weird little freak, like I did in my teens? Hell yeah, some stuff just never changes. I still enjoy things I loved as a child, like video games, Pokemon, stuffed animals, and giggling. I still enjoy things I loved as a teen, like pop punk music, being annoying, and singing whenever the mood strikes. I still enjoy things I loved in college, like dancing enthusiastically, writing amateurish poetry, and crushing on women who will never, ever be into me. But now I'm just...30. More health issues. More scars. More silvery hairs that sparkle in the sun like some vampiric trope made real. But also...more memories that sweeten with time. More time spent in awe and revelry. More reveling in the beauty of nature. More of my own innate nature revealed to me as I sit with myself more, alone. I feel thirty, flirty, and thriving. I also feel as a child, as a teen, as a drunken young adult, bumbling around without knowing if what I'm doing is right. I'm just doing my best. That's all you really can do; embrace how you are now, and how you are tomorrow, and again, and again, and again.

honk shoo ritual

hi from another lifelong ADHD insomniac!! I still have nights where it's hard but here's what works for me: ☕️ no caffeine in the afternoon/night! sucks but it will really help if you can stick to it 📵 pick a time to stop looking at screens! an hour before you need to sleep, start reading a book, journaling, skin care, etc...but no screens 😌 short meditation! if my brain won't turn off, I try to do deep-breathing and practice a meditation. calms my busy brain down but also helps me in other areas of my life. there are lots of short 3-5min ones on YT 🎧 earplugs or rain noise! I'm really sensitive to sound at night...soft foam earplugs put me in the sleep zone 💊 medication! ask your doctor about sleep meds, esp if you take daily ADHD meds. I struggled for so long before I asked a dr for help and idk why! you can also try: magnesium gummies/CALM powder, zzzquil, melatonin ☁️ daydream...in bed! take your mind somewhere nice: a bucket list place, a nostalgic memory, a fantasy world, a cozy room...and hopefully fall into a real dream ADHD-specific Tips: ⭐️ Just try one new thing at a time and commit to trying it every night for a few days or a week and see what sticks! ⭐️ keep a list next to your bed of what works so you can remind yourself if you forget ⭐️ remember to always be gentle and kind to yourself!!
