sometimes i think that i'm just not... enough. right, like i'm sure everyone's felt it before, this pressing sense of not fulfilling some arbitrary.... goal to it's fullest. not writing enough. not reading enough. not sleeping, not practicing art, not chatting w/ friends, trying to better yourself, etc etc etc.

but also then it's important to take a breath and consider -- good enough for who?

#🌧 raindrops #im just feeling a bit tired and down today for no particular reason ! it's not about anyone or anything it's just one of those days #but it's helpful i think to reframe those thoughts when you realize ur having them to #okay but... who would /i/ judge based on those standards? and the truth is? no one #no one i care about #i also think that those of us with female anatomy/brains who had/have adhd growing up and were undiagnosed #bc that research simply wasn't available back then #were taught to like “amuse ourselves” and so we overloaded on hobbies and hyperfixations and it's not sustainable #to just be doing stuff all the time or even WISHING we were doing stuff all the time #its taken me so long to get to a place where i don't actively give myself a hard time for “not writing” something today #or not reading a bit of a book #or whatever even when i feel exhausted #anyway <3 i hope everyone's having a good day/night!#i think im gonna curl up with a good book or podcast and turn in early today hehe #rmbr to drink lots of water bbys!!!! muah!#❌down the drain
