This Tuesday I Got Diagnosed With Adhdit Wasn't A Surprise, Yet My Mind Is Blown By The Amount Of Things

this tuesday I got diagnosed with adhd it wasn't a surprise, yet my mind is blown by the amount of things in my life that make sense now

I think a lot of people lose sight of the fact that at the beginning of Naruto Sakura is a 12-year-old (just like her teammates).

Her behavior towards boys and Sasuke in particular is very much on point for what actually happens to kids at that age (judging by my middle school years at least). It's okay for kids to be stupidly obvious and persistent when in love.

If she were an adult, her infatuation with Sasuke would have probably been short-lived. After all, reasonable adults stop pursuing relationships after being rejected.

But Sakura is a teenager experiencing her first love. She hasn't had the chance to learn from failed relationships and her standards are pretty low. So when Sasuke keeps ignoring and rejecting her it's easy for her to romanticize the situation anyway.

Even at the end of the series she's still only 17. And who on earth expects rational and level-headed choices from a 17-year-old?

As much as I wish Kishimoto would have given Sakura an arc of realising that she deserved more than what Sasuke had to offer her, there's a ton of real life examples of people proceeding to marry a person who's not all that interested but has a "why not" attitude. So I can't judge her for believing that Sasuke is going to make her happy.

today my tumblr account got terminated by mistake because somehow it got flagged for spamming

I immediately contacted the support, but a quick google search revealed that many people who have their tumblr accounts wrongfully terminated can't get them back and that's a known tumblr problem

for several hours I mourned the loss of all the amazing things I collected on my side blogs through the years

what helped me was this reddit post, found and sent to me by @zykamiliah

it's written by a guy from tumblr support team and he helps people in the comments to restore their accounts

thanks to Zy and him my absence didn't last very long at all

shame I can't fuck around without finding out

a skill that I mustered and that I'm really proud of: seeing a hilarious tiktok, experiencing the urge to send it to my friends and then resisting this urge and NOT SENDING IT TO ANYONE

my friend: one thing about everything is that it's never forever
