However, I wasn't even aware that I'd ADHD until my ship began taking on water when the (ADHD) tools and strengths I'd apparently been leveraging, unbeknownst to me, could no longer keep me afloat.

I have faced egregious challenges, letdowns, setbacks, painful rejection...

And yet...I've also bounced "back" by persevering through the raging storm, reconfiguring my navigation system, adapting, steering through the ominous darkness, determined to get back on course.  After all, I'm humbly blessed with the gift of an explorer's mind - just one of many possible ADHD strengths....
