Biographie de Jiyeon Lee
Jiyeon Lee, Korean writer, and translator. As a child, I was misunderstood as a prodigy, and as an adult, I was misunderstood as someone who intentionally hurts others. My family treated me like an enemy. I couldn't even understand myself, so how could I explain myself and defend against misconceptions?I had no place to belong in life, and I often had to leave communities or organizations feeling like I was being pushed out while standing on my tiptoes.
When I learned that I had ADHD, I felt like I had to apologize to the whole world without any reason. With my inadequate social skills, I used to make mistakes and be misunderstood, but now I can give myself a reason to stop and have the courage to pursue what I really want to do instead of just making money. I am now writing, which is something that I enjoy doing. I realized that having ADHD is painful, but it's okay to inconvenience others a little bit.
I tell myself that everyone can be a burden to someone else, and accepting that we all have some weaknesses in life makes it a bit easier to live. I want to offer my sincere condolences to all individuals with developmental disorders.
