I don't know why I refer to it as "we have always lived in the castle" though

One of the more fun glitches my brain has is that how things are now is how they've always been. Logically I know that's not true, but some part of my brain just doesn't process that. Great for things like lockdown and long journeys, where we have always lived in the castle and the glitch means I'm not impatient for things to end! Bad for things like a mental health crisis where everything is terrible and always has been.

(Is this an ADHD thing? I assume it's some combo of "everything is Now or Not Now" and out of sight/out of mind on a large scale, but I don't actually know.)

But it's weird now because we have always lived in the castle, I have always been at my friends' house in Glasgow, but I miss LexGarrett and my dolls and my sewing machine. Which is good, I'm supposed to! But it's cognitively dissonant to have those two feelings simultaneously.
