Today was a normalish kind of day. I got up early and got really dressed up for work. I finally feel confident, something I haven't felt in a really long time. I feel productive, empowered and beautiful, words that I used to never use to describe myself.

The upcoming surgery is looming over me though, I have so many doubts and fears - I am just plain scared even though I need to do it.

Bipolar symptoms have been less and less in recent months, especially over the past year.
