Enjoying the Moment

 

It can sometimes be really hard to live in the moment. It seems to be even harder if you're an AuDHD adult whose mind is always racing and you're constantly questioning if you're doing things right. It really gets amped up if you're a freelancer who has fallen on hard times, who is constantly wondering when they will land their next client or what needs to be done to grow an audience big enough for your creative works to help your bank account get out of the negatives.

But right now, I am in Stratford with my family, whom I dearly love. I am well aware that being autistic and ADHD means sometimes I appear distant or have a resting 'angry' face or get lost in my thoughts, giving my family the impression. I am not engaged. I am. It just sometimes takes a bit more effort to really live in that moment.

That is what I've been trying to do this week.

Fun fact: The above picture is from the site where Emily and I had some pre-wedding photos taken.
