“always be kinder than you feel”

Paralysis

Remind me - what the medical definition is again?
“The loss of the ability to move.”

So perhaps it isn’t paralysis, because when I see you, I start doing laps around the sun in the opposite direction.

I find corners, walls, any place your gaze might not reach.

Yet my mind goes quiet when I’m near you - which is saying something for someone with ADHD.

My core competency is a mind that runs on a racetrack.

And when I’m away from you, it loops your face, your laugh, our conversations.

I walk away only to orbit you again, like gravity has quietly factored you into the equation.
