I NEED A Wish Right NOW!

Manic episodes lend to wishing, dreaming, wondering...These lend to frustration and agitation. (for me anyways) This has been one hell of a summer. Life Never goes to plan, so I yell "Plot Twist!"

Battle Scars

This song hits me to the core. I have been in and out of relationships for the last 14 years of my life. Never giving myself a chance to breath, I ran from one to another. Impulsiveness is not unique for someone with a diagnosis of Bipolar.

I have been up since 2:30ish this morning. I probably could have gone back to sleep, but instead I picked up my phone to look for things to pin to my Pinterest boards and read goofy articles about,  love, sex, and the Simpsons. Yea, you read that correctly.  There is so much out there on the world wide Web that our minds could actually explode. Most of the articles left me scratching my head as to why I even wasted my time.

I took a trip in February, and have had a hard time getting back on schedule since then.

That is a scary thought, since I promised myself that I would never let myself get there again.
