how is it mario day and no one posted the essay
hope, he wrote
not a whole poem
but a note in bold
daily diary reminder to his soul
just a simple idea
that words matter
when fighting fear
so he chose, hope
in this pivotal year
when what we hold
is dearer than dear
all we will ever know
that the seeds we sow
grow an intimate garden
flower petals painted gold
dreams waiting to unfold

Not to go "if you have ADHD just go for a run" or anything, but I am so serious if you have ADHD you should regularly go outside, no headphones no phone no nothing and just stand and observe for a while until you've had enough. Not until you get bored, until you've had enough. Drink your coffee without watching tiktok. Have a bath without music. Turn down the volume in your headphones. I cannot overstate how much learning to be bored is cruicial with ADHD. Life is not just about pleasure, no matter what your dysregulated dopamine system thinks, and when you teach your brain to be okay with being bored, then boring tasks stop feeling like torture. By letting yourself be bored you are yoinking your system out of the high/low binary and allow for the highs to feel like actual highs and not just anything that isn't low. I am so serious go literally touch grass. Listen to the sounds in your flat. Stimulate your body the way it was designed. It lowers anxiety and makes you feel like you're real and best of all it's completely free

Faith
By sun.after.winter
The sides draw closer
Repulsion and longing,
Back and forth, back and forth
Tossing me out to sea
It's been so long,
Years it's been encroaching
Crawling, wave by wave, ever closer
To drown - or to fly
Do I turn back, or do I turn my back
Symbols that once meant so much -
Safety, love, hope, closeness
Now a symbol taunting me, to choose
He's god, he's love, he's hope, he's resilience
So why do I hold back?
Am I still his child?
Loveless, as I am.
Picking and choosing between his words, his laws,
Simply so I can belong?
I love them,,,
