setting alarms with ADHD be like:

okay i have to be somewhere at 10.

i’m getting breakfast there so all i have to do is get dressed, brush my teeth, and wash my face. so that’s about 20 minutes total, with room to breathe since i don’t like rushing. with 10 minutes of travel time, 9:30.

but what if i’m super sleepy when i wake up? i should add 15 minutes to hit snooze just in case. 9:15.

but also what if i’m not sleepy at all? then i would want to have has those extra 15 minutes. ???

i’m probably going to use those 15 minutes anyways on my phone or just staring at the wall for some reason so i’ll keep those 15 minutes. 9:15.

but what if i’m sleepy for 15 minutes AND get distracted for 15 minutes?? 9:00???

but it took me twenty minutes to get out of bed this morning. maybe tomorrow will be better. or maybe it’ll be worse. extra 10 minutes? 8:50.

i have an outfit picked out but who knows if i’ll like it in the morning? or if it’ll actually look good on me? add 20 minutes for wardrobe crisis. 8:30.

my skin’s been really bad lately. that might distract me too. plus makeup. 8:20.

shit, do i need to shower?? it’s way too late now and i think my hair looks fine but what if it doesn’t in the morning? i need 20 minutes from undressing to drying my hair, minimum. 8:00.

but it’s already 2:30 because i hyperfocused on cleaning the kitchen for way too long. i want at least seven hours of sleep. plus two hours to get ready is ridiculous. 8:30.

...but last time i was in a really big rush and all frazzled. don’t wanna repeat that. 8:15?

okay yeah no 8:00. just in case. final answer.

and yet i still end up leaving the house with dirty hair and no makeup at 9:55.

I understand why people dislike leather and animal products. But leather is such a good resource? Like… My mom bought a sturdy leather coat in 1989. I’m in my 20’s and I now wear that coat. That’s a 30 year old coat? 30 years, two generations, one coat. Versus, like… A plastic one, that rips and gets thrown out, or releases bits into the ecosystem every time it’s washed, takes a billion years to decompose, lasts maybe a decade if you’re super duper careful, and uses oil products in it’s construction. Like, yeah leather is expensive and comes from a living animal, and I’m not saying that you should go out and buy fifty fur and leather products for the he’ll of it, but like… Maybe the compromise is worth it? One animal product, valued and respected and worn down for generations, versus like… Six plastic products that will never ever go away?

idk, I could be wrong.
