Chaos File 002: The Genetic Jackpot

I once had a psychiatrist tell me that I’d hit the genetic jackpot for mental health predispositions. And honestly? He wasn't wrong.

Maternal Genetic Jackpot—me, my mom, and her mom c. 1987 if I had to guess. In my family, we won’t pass down recipes, heirlooms, etc…we lovingly pass down anxiety, neurodivergence, and a legendary talent for overthinking and feeling everything at once.

I wouldn't trade my time with those two (or the beautifully tangled brain they gave me) for anything.

Three generations and a whole lot of big feelings.
