I Never Knew How To Describe Adhd But This Is How It Feels.

Can you hear the song of the universe?

Some people call it ADHD. It’s probably why my legs are bouncing, the energy is pulsing and my thoughts are racing. I have infinite focus and none at all because the world is so full of possibilities. Let’s play for hours and be undistracted in distraction. There are one thousand more songs that still need to be written today.

Then suddenly something you said sparked an idea and everything aligns. Thank you! You gave me a piece to the puzzle that I thought was lost but it just matched the color of the carpet.

Say again, what were you saying? Sadly I can’t hear what you’re saying because I found the first note in my last song and it struck a chord in my soul. I’m sorry the universe demanded my full attention and I had to stop listening for a moment to work on something.

Sometimes I doodle because the universe is pleased when I do. She tells me I have choices and to choose one or all. I get to dance or draw, sing or write. So I have to do something.

You’re talking today and I’m drawing and spinning so I can hear what you’re saying. She demands I play or move. I really don’t want to adult today. So I listen to her. That’s why I still hear the song of the universe.

It’s the song we all heard and wiggled our bodies and butts to when we were only four years old. You remember it. I’m willing to bet it’s in the back of your mind. When you have a drink or two or three, you get the wiggle butt too and you remember to sing loud and proud although sometimes slightly off-key.

Sadly at one point, we were told, you have to adult, so we’re gonna prepare you for that. We have a twelve-year plan (to help you forget.)

Believe it or not, I found if you tap your pencil and use your knee to hit the bottom of your desk it sounds like a drumset. You can play the song of the universe in the elementary class of forgetting.

“Can’t you just sit still?” The teacher yells from the front of the class.

But I’m a great listener to the universe, so I don’t stop and I don’t sit still. Let’s create today! The ideas and take form then flow from my fingers and toes. Please be patient, this might take a moment while I work this out.

I still hear the song of the universe.

Thank you for sharing this. I have a daughter who has adhd and this helps me understand her a little better. I love thinking about her distraction as her listening to the universe!

This explains how I often feel which is why I think I may have ADHD, it runs in my family so it is possible. I have never been formally diagnosed but I have taken about 10 online tests and all come back saying that I have a high probability of having it. It explains so many things about me. I am always fidgeting and shaking my leg (I have to always be doing something with my body), I am easily distracted and if I get distracted whilst focusing on something or talking to someone I will forget what I was meant to be focusing on or talking about, I have terrible memory, If I get fixated on something it is very hard for someone to get my attention, I have poor impulse control (mainly when it comes to talking) I often speak before I think, I am easily confused and overwhelmed, my emotions often go from one extreme to the other and have some anger issues, I find decisions difficult, I have sensory issues which can coincide with ADHD as well. These are just some of the things I struggle with.
