Scary thought: what if we are the norm?
Ick.
I was dx'd bp when I was 16, after being admitted to a drug rehab. Now, here I am 32 and looking back I can see that I did have some time here and there where i was happy and at peace. I also did not have any big stressors in my life.
I think I have to accept that this is the norm for me and not base anything on how anyone else 'appears to be'.
I think that the 'normal' ppl don't have a 1/2 of the passion that we can experience, that they don't always know how to deal with themselves, and sometimes, do not have compassion.
One thing I have learned the past week or so is don't compare their outsides with your insides.
I think we have so much more insight into life.
ANd, I have written/drawn some amazing stuff while cycling.
ONe last thing, and I never thought I would say this: my mom said take advantage of what this disease can offer you and try to use it to help others.
Just felt like babbling. thx!
