When the Mind Becomes a Maze
My mind is not a home anymore — it’s a maze of echoes I can’t escape. There was a time when thinking felt like clarity, when my thoughts flowed like quiet rivers winding through open valleys.

The Stranger Who Remembered My Birthday
I didn’t think anyone would remember. Honestly, I didn’t want them to. My 29th birthday landed on a Monday. No celebration. No calls. No texts.

What Is Task Paralysis?
ADHD: What is it, and how does it manifest? Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder [ADHD] is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and emotional dysregulation.

In addition, those with ADHD may find it difficult to connect with others and/or follow through with daily tasks and responsibilities.

I was diagnosed in my mid-twenties, and still struggle to manage my ADHD symptoms on a daily basis.
