Okay, this one requires a bit of explanation. I mean, this is my answer to the call for global peace after all.

First things first, I'm a 15-year-old kid with ADHD, which means that my brain literally never shuts up. I'm someone who's been through a lot as an undiagnosed neurodivergent child, and unfiltered moments of true inner tranquility and happiness, moments when my brain wasn't constantly screaming to the point where it was physically exhausting, were rare for me even when I was littler than a school desk.

So, I made this- an aural representation of what it's like for me to experience these hard-to-get-by rushes of dopamine that I experience when I'm usually in the zone, like when I produce, draw, write or just... be. Without the weight of a mask on my real face. This is what it feels like to be the real me, without having to pretend.

I want all the neurodivergent teens in the world to be able to experience this more often. Our brains are like the elusive double rainbow on a rainy day, they paint our vision with the most vibrant of hues and enable us to see patterns where others see dots and lines. It makes people like us the cartographers of the future, because our ability to innovate and create could be the key to crafting the solution for achieving global peace.

I hope other neurodivergent producers on AT feel the same way I do, and I hope I can spread my message to the masses that do.
