I always hope that there’s something good out there I haven’t tried yet, just waiting to change my entire life.
Is that necessarily a good thing though. As your life progresses that possibility becomes more and more of a bad thing, to the point that if you discover this life changingly good thing when you’re 90 years old on your death bed, are you going to be excited about it, or are you going to lement and regret how you spent your entire life without it and now that you have it, you dont have the time and youth to enjoy it properly.
That’s a pessimistic view I just can’t wrap my head around. I got diagnosed with ADHD at 34 and medication at 35 (took them a long time to convince me to try it) and lemme tell ya. Did I lament all the years I suffered from what I didn’t know? Sure! But I’d rather have the ability to move forward with this newfound knowledge and support than continue to suffer what I didn’t know!

I’m a very silver-lining person.
