sorry mom 😅

one time the bus driver discovered my passed out ass once the bus was all the way back at the depot, and they kindly had someone drive me directly home in a company truck

    Yeah this is me. Gotta thing going on at 1500, I need to be 10 minutes early and it’ll take me 20 minutes to get there so I need to leave at 1430. It’ll take me 10 minutes to get ready, so I gotta start getting ready by 1420, better make that 1410 just to be safe, I’ll set an alarm for 1345, 1400, and 1410. Can’t do anything from 1100 on because my alarm is going off “soon” and then I still somehow end up late for the event because I start getting ready at 1400, get distracted, and don’t leave until 1450.

      Yeah. It’s definitely the time dilation that occurs when you start to get ready and how the act of actually doing something starts to allow you to get distracted during that time.

      “Wow, I’m getting ready already. I can definitely take some extra time to trim my fingernails. They’re looking long.”

      And then it’s fucking over once you let yourself agree to that.

          Much like time dilation in Einsteins theory of relativity. Time is relative and can be measured differently based on ones current velocity through spacetime. So, technically we are all “time travelers”. We’re just experiencing time in our own unique way. For ADHD, it’s not just velocity through spacetime, but also how our brains perceive that time. That is my theory of ADHD based time dilation anyway.
