Grad Status
It’s about time ya boi gets to walk his happy ass across this stage!!!
After all the turmoil I went though, I finally get the satisfaction of having my degree and the fam seeing me move on to the next chapter in my journey.
Ive been talking to my therapist about my accomplishments s of late, because I have really been all that excited about my own graduation..
You k ow how you have the energy and all to celebrate someone else’s birthday, but when it comes down to celebrating your own, you’d rather lay in bed wit your slice of cake…
That’s kind of the mood for graduation and he’s really been working to get me out of this slump i’ve put my self into. So to counter, i’ve purchased myself a graduation outfit, copped myself a lil more jewelry, and bout to get my scalp done up for the significant occasion.
We spoke about how i’ve been overcoming obstacles with my ADHD, and how that should advocate for more leniency upon myself , regardless of the timeframe that it takes to complete it. ( because i’ve learned that with enduring ADHD, you have a poor perception of time. A very poor perception ) so I've been taking it easier on myself when it comes to these things. Especially with the other things that I manage to juggle.
He brought to the light that alongside going to college and getting my degree, I had a second job, along with working in healthcare, and taking care of grandparents for some years, and still found the time to be social with my friends and family, and not only that, managed to have the gusto to start a business/website for myself. which made it sound like I was really spread thin, which I might have been, but he still made what I went through sound more grand than what it felt like, because it felt mostly like hysteria.
He told me to hold onto this sentence
“ Do not beat yourself up, most people in the world, regardless of status, cannot afford to pay attention solely to academics”
and…… it all started making sense.
SO here’s to understanding, here’s to relief and the accolades that come with accomplishments.
