They told me at 60
Oh, I said. Oh. 🙄
Like finding out the house was haunted
after you’d already lived there thirty years — 🏡
the cold spots, the missing keys, 🔑
the way rooms rearranged themselves at night.
All that time I thought I was lazy.
Turns out I was just
a radio 📻
picking up every station
simultaneously,
and everyone else
had a dial.
The doctor said it like good news.
You have ADHD.
And I laughed, 🤣
which is apparently
a very ADHD response
to learning you’ve been
doing hard mode
your whole life
without knowing
there was another mode.
I went home and lost my keys.🔑
Classic.
Newly diagnosed.
Same brain.🧠😬
