    About Me

    i didnt know there were so many people with bipolar disorder until i joined this site. believe me i know what a b____ this is. we all must be a special breed of people for God to create us this way. if there js any light at thr end of the tunnel is the fact that we come out of it a little stronger and knowing ourselves a little better

    Interests

    i use to like reading now i get bored i use to like walking but my back hurts when i do.i like free cell and slingo and sitting on the bask porch. i also like spending time with my family. i like the simple things in life. i like sunsets and gazing at the stars. i ponder of how awesome this universe is and how very vast it is compared to our planet on which we live. i am a hopeless romatic and dreamer.
