We should be beware though... that too much of everything is bad. I refuse to kudo myself on doing **** everybody does. I mean, my cats do get out of bed and wash themselves... so why should I see that as a success if I do it?

It's okay to take day off. Even week off. It's not okay to take life off and get satisfied with too little. Because it will get to you and it hit hard.

I define my success outside of my mental quirks. Who knows, maybe I wouldn't do things I did without my manic drive (certainly, I wouldn't traveled throughout Albania and Kosovo if I did not have a turmoil in my life and my head...).

I think we should not tie our success to "not crazy anymore". Let's face it... this is what we are. Let's live regardless. Legless people with success stories don't grow their legs............... they just live the same and probably more than people with legs.

So maybe success is to live. Not be afraid this or that might make us worse so we rather don't even try (look, I plead guilty on the account. Don't regret things I did... I regret only what I didn't do and there is too much of that). Try to have at least few absolutelly memorable moments that will make you smile even years later and even in the worst misery.
