My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and the courage to accept the love in return.” - Maya Angelou

BE CONFIDENT

CHILL!
ADHD is known for its intensity. How can you chill? Both alone and as a couple?

Do this for both yourself and your relationship.
