Ctrl+Z'd By My Own Brain

You ever be mid-sentence, absolutely locked in on the most important thought you've ever had — the kind of thought that could solve world peace or at least make a really good tweet — and then your brain just goes "nah we're done here" and deletes it?

No save. No autosave. No "are you sure you want to close without saving?" Just gone. Ctrl+Z'd by your own neurology.

And it's never the dumb thoughts that disappear. I can remember every embarrassing thing I said in 2007 with full sensory detail. But the thought I had three seconds ago that was going to change my entire life trajectory? Evaporated. Like it never existed.

The worst part is the ghost of the thought. You KNOW it was good. You can feel the shape of it. You just can't see it anymore. It's like trying to read a word that's on the tip of your tongue except it's your entire personality.

Then it comes back at 3am while you're lying in bed staring at the ceiling, and you think "I should write that down." And then you don't. And it's gone again.

ADHD is just your brain running a live stream with no DVR.
