My train of thought doesn’t derail or get stuck outside the station; it grows wings and flies away with the energy of an ADHD kid off their Ritalin. Which I guess is the point, I’m ADHD. Just once I would like to be able to categorize my thoughts into general headings. Instead I go from A to Z with a stop at K and then and then finish at Q. Supposedly I’m an intelligent 16 year old, but I have yet to write a coherent in-class essay or say something eloquent during an English “discussion.” I know that astonishingly brilliant thesis statement is somewhere in the recesses of my brain. Or that I’ve made this deep connection, but can’t verbalize it. It’s continually frustrating to see a 4 on your essay when you know that the alternate in your mind’s eye at least cohesive.
