Pull It Together - S
When I was a kid, I didn’t know that my obsession with sensory symmetry was a symptom of ADHD. When I put my pieces together, I generally go out of my way to work with asymmetry to challenge myself and learn to exist with that discomfort. It’s hard to describe, but when I design from that place of unease and anxiety, it feels as liberating as it does uncomfortable.
Pull It Together didn’t take this concept to an extreme or anything, but it does represent how I exist in the world and my efforts to think outside that tiny box that ADHD will sometimes put me in.
There are things we suffer from that are absolutely a liability. Every now and then, though, they can turn out to be an asset. I’m not one for toxic positivity or turning lemons into lemonade, but anytime you can glean something positive from a less-than-ideal position, that’s a small win and least noteworthy if not something to be grateful for. We’re not necessarily grateful for the circumstances, but we ARE grateful that we found a way to move forward in spite of or sometimes even because of them
