No one understood me except myself; I knew I wasn't who they saw me to be.

I just got my glimpse into ADHD... All my life I'd heard, "You have incredible potential, but you're holding yourself back," and I always thought it was just a lack of willpower or an addiction. Today I finally understand: my brain wasn't broken, it was just operating on different rules. And the biggest discovery? The day I tried the camera technology in a collaborative work session and focused for hours without getting bored, I proved to myself that my focus was always there, just waiting for the right conditions. 23 years, and finally, I'm reading my story with fresh eyes.
