I Don't Understand Time - Tumblr Posts

I never

ever

ever

could understand in school that one day I might need something I studied then. Newsflash: this day has not came yet. And I'm 43. What I use, I somehow learned myself outside the school. Like reading, writing, basic arithmetic, some history-stuff, mythology-stuff, English. What I learned only in school is mostly forgotten, some things hang in my head uselessly (half a poem in Russian and how to exuse for being late, some French, than salt is NaCl)

"One day you will be thankful for what I did to you today." Nope. Never. Not happened.

"You should make plans ..." (for future year, vacation, for the time I may inherit half a house ...) No. I have made some plans. Never - and I mean NEVER - has anything of those worked out.

Time. As AuDHD I have only very vague understading how time feels for neurotypicals. I only know that it must be very different for them, because how they want me to feel about time makes no sense for me.

"...a vague and abstract possible future that I may one day experience." - Untypical, by Pete Wharmby

With regards to the perception of time. Things that aren't immediate (this week at the latest) feel like a far off future for those of us with time-blindness.
