The lighter side of ADHD
Deleted
I have never formerly been diagnosed with adhd, but I’ve spent the last year building this Lemmy client. It’s really difficult for me to stick with a project for more than a couple months, and I’m really proud go be almost a year into working on this.
I lurk in this community a lot. I think I associate more with hyperactivity than deficit, but I find a lot of the posts here very relatable.
Edit: I meant well with this comment but it sounded more self promo than I like
I see the OP and hope that's who it actually is because he's awesome. Cool to see someone I respect and admire on Lemmy so soon after joining.
Right then, onto the topic and off of the OP.
This is me as well, never been diagnosed but I check all the boxes. Underachiever, always heard I was destined for great things. One teacher even predicted I'd make the next Star Wars movie. This was after Jedi and before Phantom Menace. I hope that teacher never blamed me for Jar-Jar. Wasn't me, I swear. Now Clones, I can get behind.
I recently (last couple years) heard a song that really speaks to me... except I can't understand the words. It's in Japanese. Japanese rap duo Creepy Nuts. They've done a few anime series but this one is one of their originals. They always have sharp and witty lyrics. I fear the lyrics on the official video are machine translated, maybe there are some better ones out there, but I feel the singer is speaking to all of us here.
(If it's catchy it's because nearly all Japanese syllables are open-ended, which means they end in a vowel, so rhyming gets real fun.)
The song is "To Us Former Prodigies" and here is the official YouTube video for it. You can read the translated lyrics if you hit the [CC] button. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dAzUOzWvrk
Howd you get over that struggle?
