Intro-Time! Before I start, I would like to introduce someone I hope will eventually open his own account here. He has a background in youth social services and has been traveling for over 7 YEARS, living from the sales of his art and music AND because he is a super generous and empathetic human being!
Why don't you head over here afterward and check him out!
We have decided to team up here on EvE and eventually... 
We are looking for:
YOUTH!
We want to hear your stories of hope and resilience!
I, in particular, want to reach out and give a voice to those of you suffering from ADHD (and more) stigmatization amongst your own peer group. I know you can't even speak to your own friends.
The two yutes told me so...
I started calling them that during our conversation. They thought it was funny so I am now adopting it. I put this video in there just for a laugh...but, if you watch it, you will see that it addresses just what I am focusing on. Being Different.
Speaking differently, dressing differently, THINKING DIFFERENTLY?
What if the two Yutes...DO THINK DIFFERENTLY?
The ones I was speaking too. Not Ralph Macchio and his friend with Joe Peschi
Of course they do. They have to.
But, nobody knows because they don't tell you what mental/meditational/memory hack techniques they use..they don't even tell each other.
Thats the beginning of ISOLATION by the way.
Funny, I did not know about 'Isolation' in the world of "addiction" because, for all intents and purposes, I was perfectly fine. Just like them.
The two yutes... YOUTHS.
Two young men, who, stay silent and alone, in isolation. Sometimes physical and also, mental and emotional Isolation. From their own peers.
ANYWAY, lets get to some more cheery stuff shall we? Thats what we do.
ARE YOU LOOKING AWAY NOW?
Like we look away when we see a big, digusting boil on some guys face we don't know?
Wouldn't want to ask him what is wrong, would we?
"glad its not me!" ...
Hmm, I wonder how much harder it is if you have a "dis-ease" that is not so easy to see?
Except when you don't fit into society. Or your own peer group.
With you and me. And your friends.
What friends? Oh, that's right, friends that are the same right?
Except, your possible friends are all hiding out and ISOLATING TOO!
Sorry, no friends for you.
To be Continued....because this is a journey and this story is far from done.
