Embracing the ADHD Journey: A Tale of Beauty, Creativity, and Unapologetic Self-Love
Hey there, Beauty Enthusiasts! It's Janet here, and I've got a story to share—one that goes beyond the shimmer of eyeshadows and the glow of highlighters. It's a journey of self-discovery, acceptance, and the liberating power of embracing my ADHD.
Last year, I received an ADHD diagnosis, and let me tell you, it was a game-changer. Fast forward to now, armed with newfound knowledge and a prescription that helps calm the storm in my mind, I've come to realize that my brain dances to its own beat. And you know what? I'm not just okay with that—I'm celebrating it!
From Chaos to Focus: My ADHD Revelation
The introduction of my new meds brought a sense of calm and focus, a revelation that allowed me to dive into my passions with newfound clarity. But guess what? I still jump from one beauty project to the next, and you know what? That's more than okay—it's my superpower!
Master of None, But Proud of It
For the longest time, I thought I had to stick to one hobby until I mastered it. Well, newsflash: my brain craves variety. It's like a never-ending quest for that sweet hit of dopamine. So, you know what I decided? If I want to change my hobby every week, I'm going to own it! No shame, no regrets.
Unboxing Memories and Sharing Joy
A couple of months ago, I found myself unboxing my mom's jewelry. Instead of letting them gather dust, I decided to share the beauty. I've started listing them on Depop, along with other fabulous finds! Because why keep these treasures hidden when they can bring joy to others?
Diving into DIY Dopamine
One day, when my to-do list felt more like a mountain than a molehill, I stumbled upon an old bag of jewelry-making supplies. The hows and whys escaped me, but you know what? Making a new necklace for myself unleashed a tidal wave of dopamine, and suddenly, I was unstoppable! Cue the productivity explosion.
Laughing at My ADHD: Because Why Not?
Oh, the quirks of ADHD! Let's throw in a couple of jokes, shall we? Like the fact that my attention span can rival that of a goldfish, or how I can hyperfocus on something for hours and forget to eat. Laughter is my secret weapon against the challenges, and hey, if I can't beat 'em, I might as well laugh with 'em!
The Beauty of Unapologetic Self-Love
So here's the bottom line, my beauties: I'm on a mission to keep ME happy and creative. Whether it's sharing my mom's jewelry, experimenting with new beauty looks, or diving into a DIY project, I'm doing it without an ounce of shame. Because in this journey of beauty and self-love, embracing every facet of who we are is the ultimate glow-up.
Join me on this adventure, and let's celebrate the beauty of being beautifully, unapologetically ourselves!
Stay radiant, Janet 💄✨
