Hey Guys

I know I've been out for a while and I don't like saying I'm gonna start working on my music more because I never do. I think life is just taking a hold of my creative talents.
Sitting at the computer to make music soon turns into a chore as I can't seem to figure out where to go with projects that I know have potential.
It's so frustrating...I listen to my music from the past and I constantly wonder where that part of me is right now and why I can't get it to be set free again into my work. Ideas come but I just don't know how to build them and when I do, I make something stunning and mind blowing to me, but have no clue how to turn it into a full song. Not sure what instruments to use, too impatient to make my own synth patches, I have a KORG Minilogue just collecting dust that I haven't once included in a finished product
I'm a mess and I'm trying really hard to get back into this. I've been passionate about music for as long as I can remember. I used to make up songs in the shower when I was like 10. Original stuff. I still do! Come up with throwaway lyrics that sound good but are soon forgotten because I know if I tried to finish it it would be another waste of my time.
Musicians always say well "oh I have so many unfinished things it's not even funny." But look at how much finished work they do! I have pages upon pages upon folders of JUST unfinished things.
Im not sure what to do about it anymore..
I suffer from ADD which doesn't help but honestly I feel like I should be strong enough to move past that and focus on my work.

Sometimes we trapped in boxes where we dont the way out. We try and come up with a plan, but every plan brings you to the same walls. We look at those same walls from the same perspective..... its time to change that perspective. Go out and look at the trees, travel, do something out of your comfort zone, meetnew people. CHANGE THAT PERSPECTIVE.
Im changing mine by drawing something i dont normally draw. I'm drawing otters. Also trying to draw daily Ive drawn only wolves and dragons.
How will You change yours?
My Advice for ADD is when you sit down to focus on something have a item or prop to train yourself. When you become unfocused you grab the prop to gain your focus back
Even if its hard you're always an inspiration to me.
Also sorry if my message is a bit off topic and everywhere
