Functioning Dysfunction

This piece represents the challenges but also the beauty I find in my attention deficit and executive function issues. Thoughts weave in and out of my brain, sometimes connecting, sometimes reaching their intended destination, but often not. Connections are broken (in this case literally) and later repaired with whatever’s handy (i.e., scotch tape). You do what you can do; you use what you’ve got. But I can see so much more than people who aren’t easily distracted. I take in so much more. Sometimes the way I piece my thoughts back together creates new connections that no one would have thought of previously. There is always struggle, but there is a gift in seeing the beaty and the wonder of it as well.
