Don't hate it - embrace it. "I am bipolar". There, I said it! The road to happiness is paved with accepting we are who we are. We grow into new people from where we are right now. Everything I did, everything I said, every bridge I burned is in the past. I was a flaming a-hole, so be it. I ain't gonna change none of it. If I continue to grind my teeth, I will continue on the road I was on. I want OFF the road, not to stay on it. So I smile, am thankful someone told me what's wrong, and move on from there. I'm not afraid.
