Holy shit this is incredible! Wow. Thank you so much for sharing this @Ellie Perkins. It is all too painfully relatable. But instead of feeling depressed by the world that is not built for us, I feel oddly liberated by how clearly you've described the trap. And ready to take up more space in spite of it. Thanks for helping me to do that in my own life!
this was an absolutely phenomenal and far too relatable read, ellie — way to crush your first essay over here. it's such a bizarre, terrifying experience to grapple with your own fears of taking up space even in the most minor ways, only to realize that the men around you are living in a DRASTICALLY different world. this one hits home. sending all the encouraging space-taking vibes from one adhd woman to another 💕
