Sometimes I can't find the words in my native language, often, I fail at the second part, often, I literally can't say it or need time to gather myself, sort my thoughts and sometimes even figure out what exactly it is and how I can put it into words.<br /><br />I seem as though I can say far more than I really can, and for the longest time I purposefully upheld that image. So much that I'm not diagnosed as an adult.L.F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02742843210269376536noreply@blogger.com
