ADHD AWARENESS MONTH QUOTE 12 OF 12
Wednesday, October 25, 2023
Support is the number one thing when it comes to fighting a mental illness. And the ones who have walked in the same shoes as you are the very best support system. There is no stigma in this group. There is no judging. We aren’t here to judge. We are here to understand and to let you know you aren’t alone in whatever battle you are facing. And that is why we started this group called You Matter.

Hustle and Heart: Tales of a Middle-Class Dreamer
Ever wondered what it's like to live carefree, not sweating over every penny and drowning in responsibilities? Dreaming without the constant shadow of bills and obligations? Welcome to the reality of us everyday hustlers, especially the middle-class working women.
January hits, and the dream of a solo holiday sparkles in my eyes. I hover over those tempting ticket prices, only to be brought back to earth – Dad needs a new phone. Tightening that budget belt already.
February whispers promises of a hotel reservation for that solo escapade. But alas, reality intervenes – aunty needs new glasses. Budget, you sly thing, always tight.
March rolls in, and my birthday calls for a celebration. Solo trip planning resumes, but wait – family needs new clothes, friends deserve treats. Living in society, remember? Tight budget alert.
April sneaks up, and thoughts of reserving a cozy homestay flirt with my desires. Then reality kicks in – sister's aspiring lawyer dreams demand new law books. Another month, another tight budget.
May suggests, "Why not throw caution to the wind and book that trip?" Oh, but Dad's medicines, new glasses, health checkup – he's aging, and responsibilities stack up. Budget? Yep, still tight.
June dawns, and dreams of a getaway vanish. Sister's college semester fees are due. Tight budget, the perpetual companion.
July arrives, but leaves no room for leaves. Work projects loom, and health checkups demand savings. Tight budget, a familiar refrain.
Lonely August slips away like sand. Tight budget echoes in its wake.
September storms in, piling up projects and workload. The budget? You guessed it – tight.
October brings Durga Puja, and the family craves new clothes. Tight budget, the unwavering constant.
November's Diwali dazzles with the need for new gold and a looming move as the rental agreement expires. Budget? As tight as ever.
December rears its head, signaling the time to pay up sister's college fees. Another year, another dance with the tight budget routine.
And the cycle repeats, a relentless carousel of dreams, desires, and the ever-tightening budget. Welcome to the rollercoaster of middle-class reality. 🎢💸

Whispers of Resilience
In shadows cast by fleeting years,
I danced a waltz with grown-up fears.
A childhood lost, a heavy toll,
In whispers of a wounded soul.
While friends frolicked in youth's embrace,
I bore the weight of life's swift race.
Responsibilities draped in gray,
Innocence lost, dreams put away.
Through corridors of fleeting time,
I walked the path, a paradigm.
Family struggles, finance woes,
In the garden, a lone flower grows.
Childhood's laughter, a distant sound,
As I navigated life unbound.
Maturity forced its early bloom,
In the twilight of a borrowed room.
Yet strength emerged from depths unknown,
A resilience in seeds I'd sown.
The sunsets painted on my face,
A canvas etched with quiet grace.
Oh, how I longed for carefree days,
To chase the sun in playful ways.
But duty called, and I replied,
A grown-up heart in a child's stride.
In dreams, I sought a lighter flight,
Yet anchored by the struggles, tight.
For every tear that marked the night,
A star was born, a guiding light.
So here I stand, a soul mature,
With tales to tell, hardships endure.
Though youth slipped by with fleeting grace,
I found my strength in life's embrace.
For in the crucible of strife,
I forged a deeper, truer life.
And as I gaze at the stars above,
I thank the trials that shaped my love.

Cancer, it says
I sit on the exam table
Twiddling my thumbs nervously
I've been alone for awhile
Waiting, waiting, waiting
The door clicks, pushes open
Doctor So-and-So walks back in
I never bothered
To learn his name
He grips a clipboard,
Stacked high with paper
My name in bold letters
On the front
His face is grim
I ask him for the good news first
He shakes his head: no good news
Cancer, he says
He tries to tell me more
Type of cancer, treatment options
Something about a tumor, symptoms to worry about
But I can't focus, words are empty now
Eventually he stops speaking
I look him in the eye
I only have one question
He answers: a few months, if you're lucky
The rest of the appointment is a haze
I walk back to my car, my phone in my hand
My thumb hovering over my best friend's number
He's asleep, I'll call him later
I drive home, my mom is there
She won't, or maybe can't, look at me
But she asks anyway
Cancer, he said
She tries to stay calm
Chemo, radiation, shave my head
The same shtick everyone gets
But my fate is written in the stars
She cries, she screams, she begs
She doesn't understand
My odds of survival are low with treatment
And I'd rather go out with a full head of hair
I blink
Days pass
Weeks pass
Months pass
I lay in a graveyard
I hold my phone in my hand
My best friend's number just under my thumb
I can't call him; not now, not ever
But he deserves to know
It's late at night, he'll be up
I text him
Cancer, I said
I lay my head on my stone like a pillow
And stare at the sky
The gods bless me with cloudless perfection
And I feel like the universe is open to me
As I gaze upon Jupiter
And my phone buzzes in my hand
How long do you have? He asks
Minutes, I reply
It was true
I knew my body was on its last legs
And something in me just…knew
My time was here, and I would pick my ending
I love you, he says
I love you too, I reply
I turn off my phone
I'm satisfied
I look at the moon,
And she looks back at me
She mourns the loss of life
But I do not
I feel the grass in my hands
I picked this plot myself
Right under an open sky
So my ghost could see the stars
I close my eyes, and listen to the sound
Of the wind rustling distant trees
Cars in the far off distance
My own breathing
The stars align, a light beckons
I hear violins singing for me
The clock strikes midnight
Fairy godmother has come
I close my eyes
They do not open again
A funeral is held, tears are shed
I chose my plot,
And the words on my headstone
Cancer, it says

Sometimes you have to give up what you love for the sake of your sanity.

I know I'll have to rebuild my life some day.
Learn to be kind enough, to smile once again.
But that day is not today.
I don't know when the day will arrive,
I don't know if it ever will.

A Fortune Seeker
He did have a lot of merits,and was always full of spirit.
Aware of his complete strength,he knew where he’s gonna stretch.
He did have some petty romance,but only in its finest nuance.
Little had he managed perhaps,his youth won’t fill with extreme mishaps.
Unaware of on what to condemn,while fortunes shred like leaves in autumn.
He knew there’s a spring at the end,though his misery keeps…

For quite a while I was caught up on "sleep debt" and able to have a regular sleep/wake time. That felt good. Now I'm back to crazy life again. #sleep #sleepdebt #sleepdebtisreal #lifestruggles #lifestrugglesmakeyoustronger https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf9hqiuOzQQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What is it we're seeking?
When I was younger, I knew.
I knew what it was I wanted. I knew where I fit. I knew what I wanted my future to look like. I knew who I was and what mattered to me.
I knew.
There were no strings attached. There was nothing holding me in place. There were dreams, there were options. There was a place I belonged. I knew.
And now. I look at what I have become, where I am now. I look at my sweet baby boy and at the house I live in and the work I love. I look at my husband whom I love and hate at the same time and the future that I no longer get to have. I look at the softness of my belly, at the circles under my eyes, at my draining bank account as I try so terribly hard to keep up.
To keep up with his drinking. To pay the rent. To match the bills. To juggle my baby and his daycare and the plants I own and all of the things I'm taking care of and I look at myself and can't muster enough energy. I can't find enough within me to chase the things that matter. To volunteer and give to and help others. To reach out and schedule meetups with the people I want to breathe in to.
There is nothing left in me at the end of the day. And I'm trying. Trying so hard. Trying to keep this bright smile for my baby boy. Trying to bake and love and become a writer. Trying to make things work with my husband as he drinks and is irresponsible with our son and pretends everything is okay while he spends and spends and expects me to fill in the gaps. And I can't forgive him. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to love him, to want to be with him, even in the moments when things are good between us and I know I should have the heart of Christ, should let it all go because why else am I here but to glorify God, especially in our marriage?
I'm here, stuck, living my day to day life and feeling like it's nothing that I wanted. And I can't regret it because I have my baby boy, the light of my life. But I can regret it because why didn't I go into the Peace Corps when they offered me a spot? Why the hell did I think it was okay to get married to someone I'd known for a year? Why did I let myself become swept away in a fairytale, never stopping to examine all of the red flags that I can see, clear as day, hindsight 20/20?
I want to be done. I can't be done. Too many people need me. I don't know what I want right now. I don't know what I need. I don't know how to want only what God wants for me. I don't know how to put aside my selfishness, how to take care of it all with a servant's heart. I don't know how this can continue, but I don't know how to make it stop.
And so that is me, and that is where I am. And all I want is to glorify Him, to rid myself of myself.
And I don't know how.
