My executive function has been a real challenge all my life. In my 20s, I managed to get things done purely by force of enthusiasm and idk a certain inherent buoyancy.
But ever since i can remember, I've never known how to prioritise properly, how much attention to give to + What and how to organise my thoughts or my things in a way that would allow me easy access.

B. If only I could remember that +

excellent question. year on year complaints about the same men from many women tend to not be seen as malicious/false. if they are there's something seriously wrong with the way the ICC is conducting the enquiry. moreover, it's very hard to prove a false complaint ++ at best it can be an inclusive report where nothing could be ascertained.

in cases of malicious complaints, it HAS to be proven that there was ill-intention in making the allegation.

how do you prove that? it's very hard but if there is a strong case for it the INTENT ++
