So why the name Sparkly Misfit?

First off, I’m pretty sparkly.  My friends and family find my love of sparkly things comical. I honestly believe glitter should be a color. However, I’m not obnoxious about it. I don’t go around wearing glitter and sequins like a uniform. I just like it.  But the real reason I’m considered sparkly, and I hope no one takes offense to it, because I don’t, is because I have ADHD. I’m easily distracted by shiny sparkly objects. My friends say I have a sparkly personality because you get little glimmers of something and then I’m off on to something else.

Secondly, I kinda an introvert and a black sheep. I have friends, actually surprisingly a lot of friends for a woman in her 30s in general (let alone one that hates socializing), and they’re amazing, but I find it hard to relate to people often.  I’ve always been an outsider and I believe my ADHD and introversion has played a large role in that.  I’ve always been the odd girl out in circles; although I have things in common with my friends, I definitely have more difference than anything.  At first it was a burden, but now I embrace it. If I was a toy I’d belong on The Land of Misfit Toys.
