“I like that I have ten things on the go, all at once. I like that I'm always planning for the next thing. I like that I bring a high energy to my life, that I see it as a challenge. I like that my favourite thing to do on the flight home is to look at the airline route map to pick my next destination.” EnergyWomenPlanningWomanChallengeAdhdNeurodiversityNeurodivergenceNeurodivergentAdhd Life Book:Notes to Self Source: Notes to Self
“These pages cover a period of about eight years. They contain many events and emotions that I have never told to anyone before, or even admitted to myself. The experience of writing them out has been very painful. That I cannot, or have not, avoided this pain by choosing not to write the story is due to one simple reason: the urge to write this feels not only dangerous and fearful and shameful, but necessary. I write this now to reclaim those parts of me that for so long I so thoroughly denied. I write it to unlock the code of silence that I kept for so many years. I write it so that I can, at last, feel present in my own life. I write it because it is the most powerful thing I can think of to do.” WritingPainSilencePower Book:Notes to Self Source: Notes to Self
“For a long time I have had the recurring and sentimental wish that I could go back to the early 1990s and just hold onto my younger self, tightly, the way she needed, and not pay attention to her protestations that she was 'fine.' Because I know what I would say to her. I would embrace her and I would tell her that I know she is lonely, that I know she feels lost, that I know she feels worthless. And then, because she is not me, and because she is me, I would assure her that there is something about her, something amazing, something lovable, something special, something beautiful, something fragile, something strong, something worth fighting for.” CarePastLonelinessYouthEmpathySelf RespectInsecurity Book:Notes to Self Source: Notes to Self
“He triat ser feliç. Aquesta felicitat no és perfecta ni exempta de dolor. A dins hi porta un dol. Però justament per això és més intensa.” DolFelicitatMaternitat Book:Notes to Self Source: Notes to Self
