So loud inside an ADHD mind dependent on productivity.
Infinities of thoughts, imaginings, and anxieties, and epiphanies.
Lasting seconds or minutes before being forgotten and lost.
Exhaustion makes the white noise worse, exaggerating the consequences.
Nevertheless, there are days when the white noise stops.
Caressing your mind the gentle silence makes you listless.
Eager for the white noise to return so I can get back to work.

Prologue - Memoirs Of The In-Between
Prologue My world began in the middle of the Asuka period, Japan. The time in history when patriarchs and the Emperor of Japan headed powerful clans ruled uncontested. The time when dragons still existed on our plane, and there were special people who conversed and bargained with the creatures. My specific time was in the year 616. I had already been born, and I was now nine summers long. My clan, the Kobayashi’s, was a renowned, respected family, and it was also for hire only by the Emperor – or rather Empress Suiko. We were fiercely devoted to her, and had been long before my birth. So long in fact, that our family lived in the Palace grounds. Far enough away to be at peace, yet close enough to answer any summons we may receive.

I agree with Dharr, this is so relatable!! My fiancée says I'm definitely undiagnosed ADHD...this is a wonderful and very eloquent expression of the experience! Thank you for sharing this piece, Hope!
