What the Harry Potter Reunion reminded me about myself and how it helped close the book on my healing journey...
When I was 8 years old, I was given Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in paperback. It sits on my bookcase to this day with worn cover and tattered pages, nestled safely between the shelf and the continuation of the series. Having no cable television in our singlewide trailer back then, we were often a few steps behind the trends of the decade and by the time I was introduced to the series, there were already 4 books and two movies to catch up on. The first book was finished in two days between chores and homework. A few days later, my mother took me into the back of the library in town to find a very much coveted copy of the movie, which we watched as a family the very same night. In the span of a week, it had happened.

Getting Rest with ADHD
Having ADHD is exhausting. It’s not just insomnia we have to battle with but a constant restlessness in us. It took me 25 years to realize ADHD isn’t just for hyperactive kids. It affects adults too, especially females, but most of us go with our lives with inattentive ADHD undetected. From the outside, it seems that I am an average adult that has my life together.

Cheese Shamed
I allowed myself to be cheese shamed at the store the other day and it wasn't even done by a proper monger. As I walked to the back corner of the store where the cheese lives, I could feel my heartbeat quicken with anticipation. You see, I had just found a brand of cottage cheese called “good” and not only is the company super responsible with how they source their milk, but they also make really good cottage cheese, which, in my opinion, is almost as rare as a well-fitting pair of 9-inch high rise bicycle shorts. There is a meal in England that properly captures that experience for me; two sausages topped by something soft and amorphous...yes, bangers and mash.

Invisible Heartbreak
Our caregivers, whomever that happens to be for you, model the behavior that eventually becomes part of our regimen of thoughts, actions, reactions, and responses to both positive and negative events in our lives. It may be the people who conceived us, other family members, extended family, or a different adult or set of adults. The only consistency is we had no control over where we lived and what behaviors became part of our tapestry.

The Mountain Top Syndrome
Who am I to tell you absolutely anything about how you ought to live, behave, act or exist? Fuck you — is what I would say at some point if I were you. What I can do, though, is to express my own take on the world based on the experiences that shape me, as I go along this long and meandering path, and shut off my inner preacher.
