You are sorting through a box of old report cards. Third grade: “doesn’t apply himself.” Fifth grade: “capable of more if he would focus.” A college transcript with one A surrounded by Cs you barely remember earning. A few therapist intake forms that always asked about anxiety, never about attention. A late ADHD diagnosis usually does not arrive as new information.

Vietnam Pheasant by Jon Juarez © Tierpark Berlin (supplied) For over 20 years, the forests of central Vietnam have been missing one of their most remarkable inhabitants. Now, an international alliance of conservation organizations, zoological institutions, and Vietnamese partners has come together with a shared goal: to return the Vietnam pheasant to the forests where it once lived. The project represents one of the few global efforts to reintroduce a species that is likely extinct in the wild, making it both an ambitious and deeply symbolic undertaking.

Be OK with walking away. Rejection teaches you how to reject what’s not right for you. As you look back on your life, you will realize that many of the times you thought you were being rejected by someone or something you wanted, you were in fact being redirected to someone or something you needed. Seeing this when you’re in the midst of feeling rejected, however, is quite tough.
