“It's like no one wants to dress warm here, Zoe thought. As if because it almost never got cold-cold, people didn't want to turn on heat, put on coats, cover extremities. So they were colder here than they were in places that were actually cold.”

“In addition to work, ADHD can significantly impact family life and relationships. The effects of ADHD on relationships are not necessarily negative; in fact, they can bring out many positive attributes. Loved ones may feel energized around you and recognize that your sense of spontaneity and creative expression brings a lot of joy into their lives.
On the flip side, friends and family may complain about imbalanced relationships, issues with intimacy, and/or fraught dynamics. If you get easily sidetracked, you may be late to dates with friends and family (or completely forget to meet). You may forget to respond to emails, calls, and test. Family and friends may take these behaviors personally. This can feel hurtful to you when you are trying your best with a brain that works differently than theirs. Of course, this does not have anything to do with how much you care for your loved ones, so communicating what you're going through and strengthening your organizational skills to respect important commitments can keep your treasured relationships humming along smoothly.”

“And they talk like drunks," said Elsie. "Very correct, trying very hard to seem normal. Obviously the mind is there but you're being so careful that you sound like a broken robot.”

“This is the nature of the club scene, after all: being surprised by the familiar and pretending it's new.”
