Very lovely video, thanks for posting.

I often envy my peers for being able to shake things off easier or to generally not “take things so personally”. On the other hand, I know that my sensitivity is what makes me a loyal and considerate friend, and an effective artist.

I think ADD makes you sincere, what with the impulsive speaking out and the barrage of ideas, and that can be tough. People have called me intense a bunch; others get frustrated with how sensitive I can be.

Still, my closest friends love my honesty and openness. So I just try to surround myself with people who appreciate me for who I am; that seems to make sense, ha ha…

Anyway, since learning about my diagnosis, I’ve been a lot more accepting of my quirks and qualities, and less accepting of the people who want to change me. 8)

This has been another rambling post by Powcat. Good night and drive safe!
