I think I have adult ADHD. I can’t keep my brain stuck on anything for too long. Tonight I’m thinking about wounded soldiers and the next minute I’m thinking about my new hat I bought.
I’ve always been this way. I have never stuck with anything long enough to give it a good go. I get bored. I move on…I hate feeling obligated.
I’ve tossed around the idea of being a Big Sister for a while now but what happens on the one day I just don’t FEEL like it. Wouldn’t that totally screw up a kid who is counting on me to be there when I say I am? How does a kid understand that it’s not them…it’s ME.
As a kid I used to pick up a hobby and drop it faster than the newness of the equipment wore off. But…no one ever MADE me do anything. I didn’t have to STICK with anything and I was encouraged to explore new things.
Consequently I’m the type of person who knows a little bit about a lot instead of a lot about a little bit which I could translate into a million dollar idea.
I just get bored.
I can talk to someone and five minutes later…I’m ready to go. I hate talking on the phone even though folks call me all the time to check in. It’s not that I don’t like THEM…I just don’t like talking on the phone.
I often wonder if I will ever change. I mean sure…it’s good for my idea book…BOOKS. But if your ideas aren’t coming to fruition…then you gotta wonder ya know?
At least I think so now. But hell…in two minutes…I’ll be thinking something completely different. sigh
