one manical mind

If you were to know me you would agree that I am just a little bit off center.  I used to hate that in myself, but now I wear my ecentric behavior as a badge of honor.  You see, in 1998 I was diagnosed with maniac depression, in today's medical lingo--bipolar disorder.  I still struggle with the effect it has on my life, but I also would not want the prism that I view my world removed.  The maniacal view I see this world through has had a profound impact on me and those I love.  Not always in positive ways.  However, I can honestly say I have learned from, grown from and come to value the painful experiences in my life so that I more readily cherish the simple and beautiful facets of my life.  Most importantly, I have learned the true meaning and value of love.
