Speaking as someone who had an EXTREMELY hard time in elementary through most of middle school, I can relate to feeling like I might have ADHD or something similar. It took even longer for me to realize that such a disability is actually nothing to be ashamed of.
As I was discussing with a coworker, it's often the case that the disabled community actually has more compassion than the "normal" community does, and is many times more grateful for the simple things in life while the "normal" community is never, ever satisfied nor content. And in the long run, such a personality leads to a life void of self-worth and sometimes a shorter life expectancy; it's been scientifically proven that content and grateful people live longer and healthier lives.
As such, I too practice gratitude every day if I can, because there's so much that I have in my life that can't be bought or "sold". And I'm also grateful to have all of you here at Dreamwidth, of course. 😁
