Post-Crastination

I’m going to post this on my Instagram later.

I just had to write it out here because trying to write in the caption thing on Instagram is a NIGHTMARE. But this applies to me posting things here too. GET READY TO LOOK AT THE CONTENTS OF MY BRAIN. FROM WHENEVER. OUT OF CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER.

For The Gram:

…so I know I’m probably not the first to coin this term, but I’m going to present it here anyway. The term is Post-crastination. That’s when you are an adult with ADHD and you take a cute/cool/funny/weird photo/video of something (because why else would you take a photo unless it’s something that you think is cute/cool/funny/weird) and then you think “I shall post this to the Social Meeds so that my frangs/family can enjoy this cute/cool/funny/weird thing too, and they will see that YES. I AM Fun, with a capital F, and I go outside and I do FUN THINGS with PEOPLE, outside in the WORLD and I document it on my phone and they will SEE, and also, it will always be in my little documentation space on the Internets. For me. To look back on, one day when I am 80. I WILL DO THIS.” and then…..Yeah. You’re nodding your head along right now because You’ve Done This Too. And then in your little tangled brain you think, it’s OK. I went out with friends on this Saturday night. I took fun pics, but I wanted to be in the moment, and when I got home and took my party shoes and my eyelashes off, I was too tired, so I will definitely post this tomorrow. And then it’s Monday, and you’re still like “It’s OK, I can just put these up and call it ‘Weekend Recap’, no one will care or judge me! It’s my life! I do what I WANT.” But then…. it’s Tuesday, and then it’s Friday afternoon, and then you NEVER post the cute things from LAST SATURDAY NIGHT, and you never will, because now you just think it’s too cringe to post something a WHOLE WEEK LATER. So the fun times, and the memories, and the sparkle of it just remains trapped in the Photo Jail of your phone. And suddenly you have 27,059 photos in your phone (I’m not joking) and about 13% of those have actually been shared. And it has to do also with the fact that you are a Perfectionist, and a Procrastination Perfectionist is the worst kind. I can’t do it unless it has just the right caption, and the right song, and is color corrected and cropped nicely and makes cohesive sense to the story. Well, NO MORE, my friends. It is my reckoning today. It is my REVOLUTION. I will be making Imperfect (somewhat imperfect, let’s be real, baby steps) Post-crastination Posts FROM HERE ON OUT. I don’t care if it’s from two years ago, if it was Cute, and I want to post it, I’m GONNA. Feels like everyone else in the world is doing whatever the fuck they want without consequence, and the world is on fire, so BUCKLE UP Y’ALL. (Also, I really need to clear out some Photo space on my phone, my phone keeps yelling at me about storage, and I’ve been wanting to do this for YEARS.) Also: A long time goal of mine has been that I want to explain myself LESS, but here I am with this big long post explaining to you why I am posting pictures of things/us from 8 months ago….NOW. And are you even still reading this? If you are, I love you and I appreciate you accommodating my goofy rambles. Why am so weird. Why am I still talking. I’m gonna go now. Thank you for your continued support and patronage. Good day.
