Even though I’ve spent way too much time trying to be less me and more normal (whatever the fuck that means), I deeply and completely love myself for exactly who I am… Even though the world keeps acting like my brain is a problem to fix, I’m open to the idea that my ADHD brain isn’t the issue—maybe the real issue is trying to squeeze my magic into a boring-ass mold.Tapping Through the Points:Top of the Head: This brain is chaotic.... And creative as fuck.Eyebrow:And creative as fuckI don’t do linear. I do lightning bolts.Side of the Eye: Yeah, I forget stuff. I fidget.

That’s the point.Collarbone: I’m not here to follow rules that weren’t made for me.Under the Arm: I’m here to burn the damn rulebook and write my own.Top of the Head: Because this brain? This wild, wonderful, spark-filled brain?
