I love that you talked about how a cottage in the countryside would actually not work long term . I really relate to that and always start thinking of the “Walden life” when I’m burned out. It’s almost comical that this is always what I start craving! but i know the adhd part of my neurotype will be bored after I recover a little and then I’ll start scheming new projects 😆😆😆. It’s just so incredibly tricky isn’t it .
Then we have to make room for the fact that we will be dissatisfied and make that be ok . I do sometimes think there’s a lot of talk in our ND spaces about if we get everything just right then we won’t suffer. All this energy goes to just the right accommodations. Yet, we can’t escape that we live in a capitalist world, full of racism /sexism/abelism etc and because of this too we will still suffer at the hands of it.
I dont mean this to sound negative because I think for me it’s the beginning of some sort of surrender that feels honest and sustainable. A reckoning with how it actually is for me . Then I feel like I can go to the country but fully expect to be antsy and scheming.

Totally resonates with me. Thanks Patrick
