"I spent a really long time being like 'Oh I have ADHD; that's why I'm messed up I guess :/' and not seeing it as like a neutral thing to be working with. So if I can ever help anyone else with those feelings, I'm happy to. Idk if you have that but yeah.
Also, this song [listen here ] kind of reminds me of ur music, I think this band is cool!"
In December 2023, a friend of mine sent me this string of texts that would go on to change my life in two ways. One being that I had undiagnosed ADHD, an idea I had never really considered before that had caused car crashes in my life almost everyday as a kid. But also, my friend introduced me to the band Shallow Alcove, a band that would reignite my childhood love of art, and whose music made me feel like I wasn't alone in the things in life that I valued. Incidentally, three years later, I would hear the band talk about how their ADHD fuels their art and friendship with one another, too.
