› How ADHD Affects the Way I Communicate and Hold Conversations
Having conversations with ADHD can feel chaotic, fast, and unpredictable. My brain can jump between topics within seconds—unless the conversation goes deep, where hyperfocus often takes over instead.
Honestly, anything — except politics, racism, war, etc.
It actually depends on how the conversation flows between me and the other person. If it were only about me talking about something, I probably wouldn’t be able to decide what to talk about once my ADHD brain kicks in, because I can go from one subject to another within 0.2 seconds.
So me keeping track of a conversation I started would be almost impossible — unless it’s a deep conversation. Then my ADHD behaves.
But random talks? Oh wow.
I can go from SparkleFart the unicorn to FartStripes to completely made-up things.
Haha, I’ll explain SparkleFart and FartStripes.
I used to play a game called Whiteout Survival, and there was a pack you could buy that included a unicorn used when marching to attack.
She sparkled when she marched, so that’s where “Sparkle” came from — but it also looked like she was farting sparkles, so that’s how I came up with SparkleFart.
FartStripe was the name I gave a yucca palm. Don’t ask me why. I honestly have no idea.
FartStripe is FartRanden in Swedish, so FartRanden translates to FartStripe.
That’s the story behind those two names.
So yeah, having a conversation with me would never be boring for you. -
› ADHD Chaos: I Accidentally Booked Two Day Trips
✨️ Whoopsii ✨️
MORE ADHD CHAOS!
And trust me, this is even worse than the purple hair dye!
It’s currently 5 a.m. here in Bulgaria, and I just had a crazy idea. Since I was bored, I opened Google to see if I could visit another country bordering Bulgaria while I’m here in Sofia.Being bored & having ADHD is clearly a dangerous combination 😂
OOPS!.. I DID SOMETHING!
Adventure time!
Two Day trips within three days.
Two different countries!
Pinch me!
Monday (20th) ➜ Niš, Serbia 🇷🇸
Wednesday (22nd) ➜ Skopje, North Macedonia 🇲🇰AAH! I AM SO EXCITED!!
The buses leave ridiculously early both times, but hey… I managed to stay awake when I travelled to Bulgaria, so I don’t think it’ll be a problem.
Guys… a day trip to another country? Twice?!
I’m beyond excited, but I’m also in complete shock. I knew it was possible to visit another country within a few hours, but this? This is absolutely ridiculous!
Before I fly home to Sweden on the 24th, I’ll have visited two more countries.
So this vacation will officially look like this:
Sweden ➜ Bulgaria ➜ Serbia ➜ Bulgaria ➜ North Macedonia ➜ Bulgaria ➜ Sweden
How crazy is that?
Funny little fact: I was actually planning to spend my vacation in Skopje, North Macedonia, but at the very last minute I changed my mind and booked Sofia instead.
Looks like I’m getting to visit Skopje after all!Well… I guess my ADHD brain planned the rest of my vacation. I got bored in Bulgaria and somehow end up booking day trips to two different countries. Let’s see if this turns out to be the best idea I’ve ever had… or the worst. 😂 Who knows? It might be the best part of the trip.
But honestly, sometimes, having ADHD can be both a blessing but also a curse. At this moment, its a mix of both. A blessing because it came up with these ideas and curse because it made me purchase the tickets.
Life with ✨️ ADHD ✨️ is wonderful.. sometimes.

› Currently. Overwhelmed.
Why is this trip more overwhelming than the trip I did to Italy?
Is it just me, or do some trips feel heavier before you even leave?
I honestly don’t know — maybe some trips just come with chaos attached to them. So who knows how this one will turn out.. 💀 …maybe good, maybe bad. All I know is that this trip feels more chaotic than the others I’ve been on.
