    I can't diagnose you.

    But I can say that 8-10 years ago, I was struggling with the prospect of "making it" with ADHD and achieving prosperity as an individual in a capitalist society. Now, I aspire to build the collective around me in such a way that it can be a model for people defecting from the global capitalist market and living fully sustainably at the same time. Instead of being a sophisticated but minor implement in a depersonalized system, I am a generalized but essential member of a sort of resistance. So I now have an extremely meaningful path in life, in spite of how I've "fallen short of the mark" by the standards I grew up believing in.

    If there's one thing I can say, it is that you are not sick; it is the world that is sick.
