#I find myself getting more frequently anxious that certain things are getting a little old/tired/overtalked about or handled with...idk

The stuff you posted about Margie having ADHD really resonated with me, as an ADHD have myself I find myself viewing myself as a failure for not hitting my goals even when I was going above and beyond in the first place. Sometimes I just have to take a step back and remind myself that there's plenty of stuff I *have* accomplished.

Like I can miss a deadline or fail a goal but that doesn't negate all the cool shit I've already done. I'm not gonna go into specifics cuz the point of this isn't to gloat but when you take a step back you start to see all these milestones you hit that you might have not even noticed. Even just within learning to manage ADHD, it's easy to beat yourself up when you stumble but stumbling doesn't discount all the progress made.

Anyways ty for putting so much thought into a character that honestly makes me feel really seen <3

These kinds of responses always make me really happy haha because Hi-Note is kind of an ongoing self-soothing exercise in the form of a character study, and it makes me happy when other people can get a similar sort of thing out of 'em as well! Sometimes I worry that I talk too much in circles about certain aspects, etc--even when it's a response to being asked about it, but I've never been good at keeping ideas and things to myself when they've fascinated/enthralled me--and it feels nice to know that my incessant, long winded character ramblings resonate with a handful of folks, especially when they brush up quite intimately against real lived experiences.
