ADHD Life
I had to meet with psychiatrist they said. My appointment was at two pm. Okay, so I should go grocery before but my appointment is at two though. I don’t want to be late. So I should go after…? Right? Or will the store be closed by then? Or I could go tomorrow and order in today. Yeah, I will order in food that’s safe, I don’t need to leave my house. It’ll get done then. So then all I did was wait. It’s like being in a waiting room in your own house. I checked to make sure zoom was working so I can have this appointment. The appointment started and the psychiatrist looked at me and said “it sounds like you might have ADHD” and she noted something down. Wait. What? Then something started to make sense. Is that why I spent most of my days in the classroom daydreaming? Yes. Is that why I had to click my pen at work? Yes. Is that why I am consistently interrupting others? Probably. Do I overshare at work? 100% is that why I can never enter a grocery store and just get what I need? Yes. Literally, today I walked into Walmart “All I need is a stapler” I told myself before I walked in. All I need is a stapler okay? Oh what’s that the make-up aisle. I wonder if they have E.l.f. Oooo yes and it’s on sale score! Right. Stapler, new Nicholas Spark book? I’ll take that! That reminds me I need a library card. Wait. Stapler. I found the stapler and then I looked over the clothing aisle. I did lose that shirt, just a white tank top. Yes, okay I need to leave. And like that I spent 38$ ouch. The stapler cost me 5$.

Colourful litter - I love it 😁
This was very thoughtful. I love that we don't just get the perspective of the leaf but also the butterflies. How beautiful they are, but how forgotten. Nice work, Shaun. Oh and... Well. I have already written a haiku that has butterflies in it. Like I focused on it a bit in the haiku (haven't published it yet). I am just now seeing your haiku. So I am giving a kind heads up. Just incase the idea seems strangely familiar. Although it may not sound anything like your amazing one, but just to be safe 🤗❤️
Beautifully captured!
Absolutely beautiful haiku. I love butterflies.
