After almost a year of moving cities for the first time in 3 years and some of the highest highs of life, I crashed, reached burnout, some bouts of sads and self-doubt, exacerbated by the weariness with the world and the consequences for mine and my loved ones' future prospects and generally increased cynicism towards everything.

Needless to say - hard times. But last week I've finally been sufficiently functional to partake in the one hobby that stuck with me despite ADHD, the one thing that has never not brought me joy and catharsis and it is making music. Feels great to be back.

Well done! I am proud of you.

I know life can be a bit much sometimes, but I know that you have the strength and determination to push through.

Dont feel bad about jumping between hobbies, do what ever makes you happy for as long as it makes you happy. You will always learn something, and learning is never a waste.

I hope your music brings you comfort.
