Coming back from the other side of my Bipolar Wonderland through medication, creativity, and moxie.
What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?
This is a hard one. Everyone likely expects me to say Halloween, because I’m witchy and shit.
But honestly? It’s any holiday where I get to spend time and break bread with family and friends.
I hate Thanksgiving‘a bullshit, genocidal origins. But man do I love going to see my papas and helping decorate the trees they put up after dinner.
Have you ever been camping?
Yup. Full on, fish from the river, sleeping bags in tents on the ground, fire with marshmallows on sticks camping was something I did as a teen.
What are your favorite emojis?

What topics do you like to discuss?
I could prattle about an endless litany of topics. But mostly, I wish for faerie tales and stories to speak of.
When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?

Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.
There are actually many positive moments that stick out to me. I’m trying to pin one down, but it’s hard.
I think maybe the time my card declined when I was trying to buy bread, peanut butter, and grape jelly so I’d have something to eat. I was homeless again. Someone paid for me, even added a bottle of water for me. They didn’t know me. Wouldn’t tell me their name. Just asked for me to pay to forward for someone else some day.
I have, several times over, but I still try and keep a few singles in my wallet at all times for panhandlers and the like.
Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.
I think the decision to move back to the Midwest helped me grow as a person post-divorce.
