..."I honestly believe that as a result of [bipolar disorder], I have felt more things, more deeply; had more experiences, more intensely; loved more, and been more loved; laughed more often for having cried more often; appreciated more the springs, for all the winters; worn death ‘as close as dungarees,’ appreciated it–and life–more; seen the finest and the most terrible in people, and slowly learned the values of caring, loyalty, and seeing things through. I have seen the breadth and depth and width of my mind and heart and seen how frail they both are, and how ultimately unknowable they both are. Depressed, I have crawled on my hands and knees in order to get across a room and have done it month after month. But, normal or manic, I have run faster, thought faster, and loved faster than most I know. And I think much of this is related to my illness–the intensity it gives to things and the perspectives it forces on me. I think it has made me test the limits of my mind (which, while wanting, is holding) and the limits of my upbringing, family, education and friends.".

If you are looking for a woman who will make excuses for who she is, you've come to the wrong place. I am fierce in my identity, my independence, and my friendship. Earn my friendship, and I am loyal to a fault. Earn my enmity, and I will hound you without mercy.
