Today seems like a cold cloudy morbid winter day. But I'm not really morbid.
I watched Henry Rollins talks this morning and it's really inspirational and I can take away a lot from it. Mostly because of his energy and stage presence, but more personally because he thinks like me. Not that we have many interests in common, or live on the same extroverted level, but or way of thinking is the same.
I also have insatiable curiosity and love trying out new things or learning something new every day! I also feel that I simply have to conquer things I don't know. Any book I haven't read, any language I don't understand, any skill or sport or instrument that leaves me dumb-founded simply has to be grasped. But Once I start, it doesn't take long for the next thing to compulsively draw my attention and absorbs my world.
So in some sense I probably also function with adult ADHD, but manage to hold down a normal engineering job and perform pretty well. Granted, I do all kinds of fun things at work to keep it exciting. From little side social experiments to placing cues and obstructions in my own way to solve on a time deadline. I would procrastinate all the time, to make my work interesting, and a living hell.
But here I am, blogging, pretending I can write, for the hell of it. The inspiration drives me to do this and I know I will probably get over this in one or two days, but that's okay. I have made peace with all of this, with who I am, with how my mind works, with what I can and can't do.
And.. its run out. Get back to it soon.
