im a gen z with insane executive dysfunction thanks to adhd. for a while when I was living on my own, yes I was living on microwave meals. they’re really cheap to get a bunch where I live and they have some variety, and I grew up on them due to my parents not really cooking often and being a latch key kid so they were a little nostalgic. but once I realized I never felt full after eating one and making some more money I started meal prepping for the whole week. i know how to cook and I can make some banger meals but my main problem is cleaning up everything afterwards. I’m learning to enjoy cooking and i always try to make a meal for any guest I have over.

i work construction, and my right-ish foreman also forgot all day. until I told him what day it was just before the city’s memoriam service started, which we were working around 🤷
