It feels like you're in my brain! I don't have any kind of diagnosis yet, but I relate hard to the procrastination/stress pushing out my best work. The more I read from you, the more I see how similar we are in how our minds work!

Also, I deeply appreciate you sharing the Writers Cottage—thank you! I love having you and your sunny energy there (because yes, it's still sunny even amid challenges). <3

What always haunts me was how drastically different my grades were during my summer abroad at Cambridge: My essay on "Alice in Wonderland", which I painstakingly planned over two weeks because of my love for the material, got a C—whereas my half-assed essay on the works of Tom Stoppard, finished last minute on an overnight flight post-vacation on a dying laptop, A-. 🤷🏼‍♀️ That experience alone taught me a LOT about myself.

Who knows if I need a diagnosis, haha. 😆 But I love discovering more through what you're sharing, Baily, so thank you for showing up and sharing your experience. <3
