(South Lake Tahoe August 2023)

This morning I woke up thinking that my entire life has been lived in two cycles repeating over and over. Within one cycle I’m outspoken, outgoing, and loud. Within the other I’m withdrawn, timid, and quiet. While thinking this my mind brought forth images of water rushing up the beach and receding.

Then I started wondering, is everyone like this? The same two cycles repeating over and over. Being late diagnosed as neurodivergent, I’ve learned there are many things about me that the typical person does not experience. So I thought I would ask. Do you experience this?
