Solo travel and alone time is so freeing with ADHD

I recently found out I have ADHD and it made me realize that I’ve always loved my alone time, not because I’m shy or introverted (which I am), but because of the freedom it gives me. When I’m alone, I can finally let my ADHD brain free and follow its impulses. No sitting still in class, no trying to look calm and professional at work, no worrying about being “too much” around other people. I can just… be.

I can fidget, wiggle, move, and explore however I want. Solo travel has been amazing for this. Even if I’m just exploring my own town, I feel so free. I’ll check out a cafe I’ve been curious about, then suddenly decide, “Oh look, a squirrel!” and walk over to whatever catches my interest.

It all makes so much sense now. I’ve always been like this and understanding my ADHD has helped me embrace it. Taking solo days has been so good for my mental health. it’s like giving myself permission to truly live in the moment.

Anyone else feel this way or like this
