The biggest struggle with ADHD for me is how much time everything takes. A good example of that is schoolwork and writing. I'm a writer, a write a lot. I like it, I'm good at it. Yet, my 500 words long text took me a full weekend to write which included me staying up late pretty much every day to write. I've also been writing the same book for four years now (albeit I did start over after 50000 or so words).
Last book I read was Frankenstein. Loved it, but it took me over a year to finish. Today, my only goal was to finish writing my notes for this one assigment. I wrote four sentences in about 6 hours (after another 4 hours of procastinating). Drawing also takes me a very long time compared to others. And is very much not supported by my short attention span and lackluster motivation.
The fact that it hasn't always been this bad is the worst part, I think. I like school and studying, I like learning things, but things are always too slow or too fast for me. I'm glad I'm a fast learner and can compensate for my attention span and godawful working memory with those streghts I have. But it is not efficiant and it will not work forever, and I'm like 99% certain it's the reason I get so quickly overworked and burnt out.
The second worst part is when people overlook this and think I should be able to handle it just because I'm "old enough to take responsibility" of these sort of things now. Which, yeah, I guess. But I'm also a full-time student who is doing her darndest to balance school, friends, student associations, hobbies and every other responsibility, obligation and commitment that may be thrown her way. Which, realistically, I would be able to handle on their own. Seperatly. Aaaghh. Anyway.
It shouldn't be unreasonable to ask for a bit more time to manage it all. Dropping the ball doesn't mean I'm not trying hard enough. If I could choose between it being easy and it being hard, wouldn't I choose for it to be easy?? Like,, cmon

people really love to characterize cass as just Girl Who Punches Real Good at the expense of her empathy and compassion, don’t they. “if cass disagreed with/didn’t like someone she would just beat the shit out of them :)” because cass’s first response is always violence, right. cass has never tried to redeem criminals and murderers
cass could never forgive someone who had killed in the past, much less work beside them or befriend them
cass has never given people second or third or fourth chances or bitterly argued for their humanity or risked her life to the point of actually dying for people who have tried to kill her
cass just loves hitting people and is incapable of solving problems any other way! she always resorts immediately to violence and never tries to reason or empathize with people first! reducing her to a one-dimensional stereotype who beats up everyone she doesn’t like and has no other personality traits is a Good Thing, actually! #strongwomen!

My identity has always been wrapped up in writing. And I've been doing it a lot less and now I don't know who exactly I'm supposed to be

Hello, a little rant here. I don't know whether people are becoming insensitive or I'm just taking things very seriously these times, but I beg of you, when I post about an update on the situation in Gaza, or about a lost life or any piece of news that is most likely horrifying and heartbreaking, do not repost or reblog with "yikes" or "real bullshit" or whatever goes in the same line. It just makes it seem so trivial when in fact it's world-shattering. Not to mention the horrible edits I see on Instagram/tiktok.
I literally came across an "Instagram reel" of my friend's UNCLE (who lost three of his kids, and was saying his goodbyes while they were in body bags), it was edited into a reel, with the effects and changing colors and the trending sound of the song "daylight by David kushner". I was speechless.
I know people show their solidarity differently, I know this. Especially through music, I've literally been listening to Samer songs as well as "Telk Qadieah", etc. But the edit I saw was way too much. I don't know how to explain it, because I've seen many reels of Palestinians in Gaza grieving and I thought it's important to share them but this one is different. It was like the edits you'd make for characters from a TV show or movie that died or had a sad storyline.
I don't know, maybe I'm overreacting but I genuinely feel like I'm going crazy. With everything going on and how it seems like some people are living in a parallel world rn.
I hope I don't get misunderstood, I'm not talking about the general clips with sometimes sad songs on them, I'm talking about certain edits the people started to make that are so weird and insensitive. Like the people they're editing aren't real, like they're some entertainment material.

Blue Screen
Danny is the type of guy gal ghost to Commit To a Bit. This is very common knowledge
But he may have overdone it this time.
---
Dan and Ellie had met the Red Hood, who seemed yucky. Ellie said this herself. Jason was not amused, and did not appreciate them following him around for the rest of the week.
After a bout of panic, Danny had finally tracked the tykes down. After seeing who they were with, he sighed. Of course those two would. Well he could play at that game.
Danny had popped in and pecked him on both sides of the helmet, leaving a casual lie before legging it.
"Hey hun, thanks for watching the kids. I'll take it from here."
---
It's been a month now, and somehow he has two kids with a notorious crime boss and goes on nightly dates with him.
