We all need a way to materialize or make tangible our thoughts, ideas, feelings etc. This blog will serve many purposes.

* Network
* Idea sharing
* therapeutic

At first glance it may seem as this blog is superfluous in optimism , but don't let that deter you from reading further or following this blog. We don't always feel happy, excited, or even feel anything. There are times we feel disturbed, distanced from people, angry, or alone, but it is times like these that we can analyze, understand and grow from. At times it may even feel as though there is a storm with in us, or total loss of control of our emotions. It is times like these we can be productive or imaginative. I know that it is times like these where we need to harness all that negative energy, and synthesize it to give us something new, whether it be an understanding of a relationship, an insight into a problem we are experiencing, a new idea etc.
Being labeled Bipolar by some doctors I think is just a reason to prescribe medications that suppress our feelings... but isn't that just a prescription for dehumanizing people? I think I just need to find ways to manage and cope and live with my emotions, and harness them for something good rather than destructive behavior. After all one of the things that makes us human is having such an array of emotions. These emotions serve a purpose, they tell us what is going on with our selves in relation to other people and the world. So yes this blog will be dark at times, it will be excessive in optimism, it will be creative and inquisitive; I am not prescribing any one format or purpose for this blog, but rather a way for me to express myself, connect with others, find my gifts and talents, and a way to understand this world.
