You are a Giver, your love language is service which I find to be rare.

You want to show respect to someone? You help them clean up dinner.

You want to congratulate someone on their marriage? You do a customized painting for them.

I mean really who does that? Kids. We used to write letters or drawings to our best friends as kind of a gift or something that we worked on for them . This is the real meaning of a gift , it's the core of it.

It is fascinating to see adults who still acts like children in their hearts. That's all of us , we are all still that child..we just suppress it most of the times. I say unleash it. Be a Kid again!

not to be a hedonist but. pleasure IS the whole point, my loves. we are made for pleasure. humans have not survived out of spite or sheer grit or simply to make more humans. we live for pleasure. the pleasure of licking the last delicious crumbs off your fingers and feeling sunlight on your skin and massaging a loved one's shoulders. we're made to fill our bellies with delicious food, to nap in soft grass, to touch each other in joy and comfort.

there is no shame or guilt in our bodies doing what they were made to do. and we are made for pleasure.

my favourite adhd / general executive dysfunction feeling is when you become very consciously aware that you are bored and there is nothing interesting left on the 5 social media apps you’ve been cycling around for the past hour and finally a small logical part of your brain goes “hey! perhaps at this point it might actually be more fun to do one of the productive things you’ve been putting off!” and you’re this close to going oh huh yeah maybe that's true! and getting up to do some housework or read a book or something when a far louder part of your brain goes “NO WAIT!!!! maybe THIS time when we refresh tumblr.... it will be interesting again” and you’re like "ohhhh right sorry for doubting you boss" & promptly get right back to doing fuck all

ADHD epiphany

[myaddbrain]

ADHD culture is the fact that I CANNOT brush my teeth or do my skincare routine without listening to music or a podcast even though it takes me like 5 minutes tops to do these tasks because I literally CANNOT STAND being bored for or understimulated even for like a minute

يا حبيبي...

لا تغيب كتير، تتأخر ليلية..

ما بدي هدايا حرير، اسوارة عادية..

بدي من عشية نقعد بالسهرية..صوتك يضحك ملوا البيت و يحلي ايامي ايامي ايامي...

يا حبيبي تعبني الليل، يا عيني لا تنامي.

#فيروز #شوق #حنين #سماء كاليفورنيا
