“Our life evokes our character. You find out more about yourself as you go on. That’s why it’s good to be able to put yourself in situations that will evoke your higher nature rather than your lower.”

Hi, I’m Arp! I got diagnosed with ADHD at 49, and now I'm trying to figure out what's me, what's masking, and just about everything else. I make comics (when imposter syndrome isn't striking) and write about life as a creative Indian-American. I’m self-taught, self-employed, and self-flagellating.

If anyone has wondered why there have been so few attempts at alternatives to #Facebook #Instagram #Youtube et al the situation with #Cara illustrates why: it’s expensive AF to host a site with a shit ton of users and files. One busy week added $96,280 to their hosting bill – and that will only increase. https://techcrunch.com/2024/06/06/a-social-app-for-creatives-cara-grew-from-40k-to-650k-users-in-a-week-because-artists-are-fed-up-with-metas-ai-policies

I’ve loved #DaftPunk for decades but have never seen the video for “Around the World” (or any of their videos) until today.

One of the hardest parts of being an #entrepreneur with #adhd is needing some positive feedback (aka #dopamine) to helo follow through on complex #projects. I can break things down into a zillion steps and chip away, but pouring everything in without getting anything back makes each subsequent step harder & harder. Any frustrations along the way dealing with things out of my control, like vendors & their ‘support’ just pushes me over the edge. #neurodivergent

The brain’s frontal lobes, which are involved in ADHD, continue to mature until we reach age 35. In practical terms, this means that people with ADHD can expect some lessening of their symptoms over time. Many will not match the emotional maturity of a 21-year-old until their late 30’s. So while most people graduating from college take time to adjust to adult life, people with ADHD need more time, more family support, and more professional help.
Have you read this? It made me wonder how I managed to adult in the minimal capacity I could in my 20s & on – which consisted, tbh, in drinking too much #alcohol (a source of #dopamine & lowered #anxiety). But I’m thinking more on how to best guide & support my kids (though without some of the punitive ideas like charging rent, the author is a dinosaur from the 60s). https://www.additudemag.com/grow-up-already-why-it-takes-so-long-to-mature/

Hey – it’s #lettering I don’t hate! I’ve been messing with #blockletters and finally made something that didn’t suck. But for the life of me I cannot remember what brush I used and I just realized I need to throw in a couple of skulls 🤦🏽‍♂️ This is a line that’s been stuck in my head since Green Day released #Saviors. I feel less dead inside after I stopped taking #adderall. #HandLettering #GreenDay #frankentoon #truegrittexturesupply #greenroommedia #letteringart #digitalart #affinitydesigner #textures #digitalillustrator #ADHD
