I’m okay!
I just wanted to review the CCTV because a cat sneaked into our waiting areas, but when I watched it, it got me thinking.
Even when my ADHD has been a conflict of impulsivity and indecision throughout my life, the strategies I’ve developed have been keeping me afloat.
There is no other point to this video, but to share that there have been times in my childhood when I was struggling, wondering why things just felt SO HARD for me, and it didn’t seem that way for everyone else; and asking WHY?! What is the point of my life?
And now every day, I help kids who have a hard time, and I get to show them the strategies that worked for me, and other techniques that I’ve learned (even the ones that don’t work for ME, because everyone is different). It’s still hard, but I’m thankful for the opportunity to make these children feel that they’re not alone. Not “stupid.” Not “lazy.” Not “too much.”
So yeah, BE the Cat of Prosperity. Pay it forward, always. ✨
P.S. Parents: kung may hinala kayo sa anak niyo, at may resources naman kayo — get that assessment. I wish I’d gotten mine earlier.
