"You make art by being exactly who you are."

I read that somewhere before and I thought it was beautiful.
It makes me want to thank each of you for just being you.
This thought popped into my head as I was going through some threads and when someone has conviction or even doubt too, the words are like poetry everywhere. It's beautiful.
Ok perhaps I am a little manic but I love sitting on this perch, this point of view, staring down at the world.
Surely, if I was depressed, there'd be a whole different attitude but from where I'm sitting, the mania, the depression, the cycle itself is beauty. Everyone wants you to find a middle ground and stay there but that's just not us. We have this perpetual cycle and depending on the mood, it is killer. It's not worth living anymore. But sometimes, maybe only for some, it is magic.
I'm sorry if I have offended anyone with this post but I felt the need to share and I don't want to self doubt. This high tide is very welcomed right about now.

HP... just got amazing tingles on my skin reading that. Yes, there has to be more to it than just mania, or maybe mania is something more. I am grateful for your beauty and insight and sharing, thanks.
