What I'm thinking about: ADHD
Primarily because when I first opened the tab to create my next 5-minute blog post in the attempt to maintain consistency, my original thought was to write about what a real start-up is and to discuss the differences between what people think a startup is and what my best friend says it is, and the impact of that conversation on me. However, in the short span of time between opening the editor and actual starting to write, my brain has gone to therapy and mental health to a friend's thesis draft to compassion fatigue / feelings of irritation and then the realization that my brain has cycled through so many and widely different topics (and multiple times) in such a short period of time... that I can't help but wonder if I have some form of ADHD. Or is this how people's brains tend to function normally? Even when I am in a normal conversation my brain tends to jump to other (albeit related) tangents. Sometimes it's based on qualifiers that I include in my statements, sometimes it's based on relationships that I realize in the middle of saying something. Sometimes it feels like my neural networks are being pulled in a million different directions. Alternatively, it feels like my sense of focus is like a pinball bouncing around from one part of my brain to the other, lighting up like the bumpers that flash or sometimes riding a wave of thoughts, only to jump to another train of thought. Welcome to my brain.
