  • Personally, I don’t want to be remembered, except in the context of a few stories. I’m more worried about the ephemeral nature of information in general and the ability of people to manipulate our perception of the past. Imagine if you were well “remembered,” but someone just made everything up. That’s terrifying to me. It is better to be forgotten than misrepresented, IMO.


  • I always focus too much on what they’re saying and the potential/ hypothetical situations they could encounter in the future. Like they’ll be trying to make one specific point, but with ADD, I’ll be overcomplicating everything. In the end, I’ll get emotionally overwhelmed and start focusing on something else. Meanwhile, the other person is wondering wtf just happened to our conversation.






  • When you’re out, use DEET and cover yourself. Try to only apply it to your clothes. It’s toxic to humans. Are you out a lot? If so, I’d be worried about ticks and toxic plants as well.

    If you have control of the land around you, make sure there’s no stagnant water nearby. If you want to keep a pond, manage your mosquito population using local species if possible. In some places, you can also report stagnant bodies of water.

    If they’re inside, check your window screens. If you can’t afford that, use a mosquito net and check my first answers.
