Finding Ourselves in the Chaos

Mimi: You know what’s crazy? Like, four years ago, Nini and I were walking around feeling like total screw-ups. We couldn’t focus on anything, we kept messing up simple tasks, and everyone seemed to think we were just lazy or stupid. But then we got diagnosed with ADHD, and suddenly everything made sense!

Nini: Yeah, it was such a relief, Mimi! I mean, don’t get me wrong, having ADHD isn’t easy, but finally knowing why our brains work differently was like a weight off our shoulders. It explained so much about why we struggled in school and why we’d get bored so easily with mundane stuff.

Mimi: And you know what else? Once we understood ourselves better, we started to embrace our passions more. Like, our YouTube channel Miniminiii!! took off after we stopped worrying about being ‘normal’ and just let our creativity run wild. Building those intricate Gundam models feels like meditation for us – it requires focus, which is ironic considering our ADHD!

Nini: Exactly! And our cosplay creations… oh man, the hours we spend meticulously crafting each piece are some of the happiest times for me. There’s something magical about bringing characters to life with our own hands. Even if sometimes we stay up till 3 AM finishing a costume because we hyperfocus so hard!

Mimi: Plus, going on those long beach runs together helps clear our heads in a way nothing else does. The rhythmic motion and the sound of waves crashing… it’s like nature’s version of a stim toy for us. We always come back feeling refreshed and ready to tackle whatever chaos awaits.

Nini: So yeah, while ADHD is definitely part of who we are, it doesn’t define us completely. We’ve learned to work with it rather than against it. And honestly? Life’s so much brighter when you stop fighting yourself and start dancing to your own beat.
