Just finished the first section of my ADHD Snapshot and realized something wild: the letter I wrote to my 17-year-old self was basically telling her to keep complying. Turns out the "just stick with it" voice I've been using my whole life isn't self-compassion - it's the same voice that talked me out of journalism and into commerce. Which I didn't enjoy one little bit, so I quit my higher education altogether. Mind a bit blown.
