Yesterday, I picked up Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus.
Today, I’m already on page 347.
And yes—I’ll probably finish it before the sun goes down.

People often misunderstand ADHD as an inability to focus. But really?
It’s more like I focus with intensity. On one thing. For a while. And then I crash or shift.

For me, hyperfocus isn’t a flaw—it’s a part of my brain’s rhythm.
Sometimes, I dive in so deep I lose track of time.
Sometimes, it’s a book.
Other times, it’s painting, writing, researching, rearranging my plants, or pacing around thinking about feminism and the public education system.
(Or all of the above.)

And that’s okay. I’m learning not to apologize for how my brain works.
Instead, I want to celebrate it. Today it let me live inside a book.

💬 Watch this quick video where I reflect on what ADHD focus really feels like for me.
