Beauty- inner, outer and everything in between.
It is a bizarre notion , but what is considered beautiful at any given time in the society, is constantly changing, not unlike the fashion trends. Bizarre, because unlike clothes - people have a soul. Yet, they too are made to feel disposable. If they allow it of course.

No Name The pig truck swayed in the lane in front of me, tires careening close to the gravel edge of the road and swaying back to the dotted white line.

I forced my eyes away from the spinning wheels, checked in the mirror of the nondescript Ford Focus I'd pinched. The blond wig was hot and made my head itch.

Can ADHD Really Work In The Workplace?
Let’s face it, traditional societal norms can make neurodivergent people feel like total outsiders. From school, we are encouraged to fit our unique brains into standardised boxes, and this mentality has unfortunately continued into the workplace. For example, autism in the workplace has historically not been supported, meaning that autistic people have struggled to find and keep a job due to lack of understanding (National Autistic Society).
