The lesson I learned can benefit parents, teachers, and fellow ADHD learners out there.

The Introvert's Circle
I don’t make friends easily. I am an introvert through and through, much to the annoyance of my “golden-retriever-energy” husband. While he could spend hours chatting up every attendee at a party, I’d spend that time leaning against the wall, bouncing my knee with every second that dragged by. Social interaction will either energize you or drain you. I align myself with the latter.

This life is so crazy, I overpay in rent. More than 30 percent.
I need to get myself an actual piggy bank so when I put my wealth into it I can finally break it open with a hammer that I fancied up with pictures and rubber cement and then see a trillion bucks in my wallet. I pay way too much in rent it is ridiculous and I attempted to reason with the dude that I pay rent to but He is so hooked on the four hundred every first of the month and he won't let me reduce my payments to 30% of 914.00. What I get per month is considered to be a fixed income. I am very bitter about living paycheck to paycheck but he doesn't know that April's payment will be short. He will find out abruptly then cuss me the fuck out and get my excuses for it which are extra food and groceries that I never buy because I spent the cash on rent. What I should be paying in rent is $274.20 cents and Jim McPherson 111 is being unreasonable even though I am the one who suggested 400 he said at first no rent I am fine without it. So it is partly my fault I was being a cunt hair too generous and now he won't let me reduce down to 274.20 and it pisses me off so badly.
