Success can be a really good disguise.

Are you starting to fade underneath?

May late-identified ADHDers get this.

People would praise my life from the outside.

But I was exhausted. Hollowed out really.

I'd spent decades learning to:

😿Mirror energy I didn't have
😿Meet standards that weren't mine
😿Suppress needs I didn't know were valid

Two burnouts later, I finally got it:

I really was successful...

At being someone else.

Every mask we wore is proof we once knew who we were.

What if the work is finding that self?
