Translation:
It's always been easy for me to get to know new people. People seem to think I'm funny and nice. But my big problem is that I've always had a hard time keeping my friends. There's so many people wh have passed by in my life, we've had a good relationship, and then it just wither away. I've always thought it was because people have seen through me, and realized I'm really not that nice. Then, when I was 42, I got diagnosed with ADHD. I read about it, to learn more about ADHD. I learn that this is a very common problem for people with ADHD, to keep friends. You sort of foret to be a friend. I've always thought friends left me, but now I realize the problem is with me. It's been me that has left people. Not because I wanted to, but because this is the way I am.

Lovely layout and introspective journaling. I like the b&w photo too. Friendships, like gardens, require tending to flourish.

What a great take on this challenge and great reason to capture your take on having and keeping friends. Thanks for translating your journaling, I loved learning more about you. Sorry that it's been difficult for you to keep friends. Sometimes that happens to me too, though so don't be so hard on yourself. Sometimes friends come for a season of life and then move on. You page to capture this is so gorgeous, especially that great picture of yourself (I think it's you?).

I could have written this myself! I was diagnosed earlier this year, at age 41, and along with my ADHD, I'm a military spouse so I never stay long enough in one place to keep a friend either. It doesn't help in "real life" but I have found it's easier to make/keep digi friends at least b/c they're at least all in one place and since we ADHDers tend to hyper fixate on our hobbies, these friends are not as easily forgotten! Anyway, sending you warm thoughts of care and understanding and also compliments on the beautiful page!

This is so true and I have seen it in my DH, and my daughter says she does the same thing. Just one of the many 'joys' of ADHD. I love that photo of you, and this wonderful page. Thanks for sharing x
