Creativity is a cornerstone of ADHD. We are unique individuals with many talents and traits. There is no such thing as a ‘normal’ ADDer. Likewise, there is no such thing as anyone described as ‘normal’ also described as creative, artistic, ingenious or having ADHD. Many of us see ADHD as both a curse and a blessing. If you relate or would like to understand why from real, personal experiences, then ADDer World is the place to find out.

Life is long and life is short!!
My mind is flawed, miles from perfect, yet i am a machine.
My mind grinds on and never tires, my body stalls often and sometimes falters!!
My mind – ahh – my mind – I feel the difference, I reap what it sows, I suffer its ebbs and flows!! I realize often how different my tide table of thoughts is from the reality around me.
I learn from my mistakes – AHHH yes – over and over again – too bad it seems to be the same mistakes!!
I am a live wire that has lost its connection, I am a computer whose circuits are infected.
I am a blast of energy that is driven by g-forces gone wild.
I am a force of nature that has collided with the humanity that seeks to tame me and will always fail.
I am a moment in time and space that rips a hole in the Universal continuum and takes eons to disappear.
I feel wrong, I feel diseased, I feel I am a mistake, I feel I can’t ever please the world (but they can’t live without me) I was brought into by a 1 in a million. I feel compassionate, I feel free, I feel i am a step away from you and i am in the lead!!! I feel like ME – YUP, I feel ADHD, but I am ME!!!
I have learned the hard way, maybe it’s the right way, maybe it is wrong.
Maybe a higher power knew the path I was destined to follow and gave me a mind that was wired in high tension and wound so tight that I would forever be trying to untangle it and uncoil all the blows of humanity. I think of everything, yet my mind is blank. AHHHH well – aint life in my ADHD brain great?
