I totally agree with what you've said, Curiosity. Bipolar is indeed a double-edged sword, dangerous but also intriguing. We experience the world in so many more dimensions than the average person! It's funny, my 'normal' friends and family members can't even fathom why I respond to great beauty in nature and people and music with so much emotion. I don't know any other way to be. And in some ways, I feel sorry for those who DON'T thrill to those things the way I do......they are missing so much, and they will never know.
