For someone with ADHD, unfinished things — open tabs, half-read messages, open packets — all scream for closure. Chaos is default. Closure is rare. Brushing my teeth gave me that closure, two minutes at a time. It was physical, repetitive, soothing. It made me feel done.

When you live your entire life as a performance, storytelling is not something you learn. It is something that happens to you. Like a second skin. Like breathing.
And after enough years of doing that, the question comes—who are you when there is no audience?

This is shocking even for a pessimist like me.
It's hard to convey how barrier breaking this is. Weather + climate people have always collaborated internationally, simply because weather does not respect national borders. Even during the Cold War, US + Russia shared weather observations.
To be told this is to be told to "stop doing your job"

Room 101 exists. It is not a concept. It is not a theory. It’s not merely imagination of George Orwell. It is real. It is real because I made it real. It is no coincidence, in Oslo, I lived in the apartment 101. When I arrived in Reading, I stayed in room 101.

I do not know when it began.
The peeling.
Maybe it was always happening, so slow and quiet that I never noticed it at first. Maybe it was only when the layers started coming off faster, rawer, that I finally felt it. The sting. The ache.

I have a suitcase. No matter where I go, what I do, or how fast I run, it follows me like a shadow. It’s heavy. It’s unwieldy. It’s not optional. #booksky #readdiverse
