Coming back from the other side of my Bipolar Wonderland through medication, creativity, and moxie.
What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?
The biggest red flag that someone could wave for me is a lack of empathy. That’s it. That’s the heart of it for me. If I have to explain to you that you should care about your planet, fellow humans, or other living creatures, I’m out. If you cannot be a decent human being for the sake of being a decent human being, you have no place in my life.

I made a damn good chicken soup for dinner. I didn’t have to deal with the bone in chicken, thankfully. Bryan took care of it for me.
Work sucked. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
Take your meds, folks.
Why do you blog?
I am going to answer this in typical Theo fashion: in a round about way.
I grew up lonely in a crowd of people who overlooked me so thoroughly, so completely. They never seemed to see me. Instead, they saw how I could be useful to them. It wasn’t until I was older that I realized I came from a household that never truly had a chance in hell to be whole or balanced or not broken.
I am the child of several very complicated people. Flawed, broken, human people who made mistakes and had their small victories. Whether I want to or not, I live on in the wake of their deaths, some of them. For the living, I strive on in hopes of seeing them again soon.
I blog because I am a fantastically flawed human being who strives to leave the world a little better in their wake. I blog so maybe, someday, I won’t be forgotten as soon as I return to dust. I blog to be seen, hear, and see and hear others in turn.
I blog for myself, for you and any other person I can call friend.

Okay, so, this might seem a little random but I really miss Robin Williams’ movies. I could rattle off more than a few of his movies off the top of my head. I could associate at least one role with a particular emotion, even. But holy fuck do I hate having depression in common with him.
