I am not a witty person

I'm not nearly as well read as I think I should be.

I don't have a lot of poignant thoughts or sayings that will captivate nor enthrall you.

I've never read Shakespeare or Dickens or Bronte (why I said Bronte I have no idea and yes I referring to E Bronte..) or the Beat generation or any other host of classical authors. I was never a big reader though I did have my moments and books that I love to read.

And for some reason when I think about that at this very moment I feel overwhelmingly ecstatic/sad/happy... overflowing with emotions.

I'm finding that I don't know anything...and I'll still claim to not know anything even if I lived for a thousand years and attended university for that entire time as well.

What happened this past Friday... what was that trip?

Anywho... I'm chalking it up with my life experiences... and how I'm trying to get back on that bandwagon... that is living life.

I spent way too much time bitching and moaning about things not being how I want them... instead of making the best of the situation.

This is the hardest step... making a decision to make things better. Realizing that you and you alone have the power to change how you feel. You react to the world around you... while there are moments and people who have LEGIT chemical needs (SSRI's and the like), I'm also under the impression that these are a temporary thing. Then again I'm not a professional.... though I do know even the professionals don't know why things happen the way they do... they can just tell you that this is how we deal with x, y, & z.

I'm not against mental health professionals... we need them. Though I do feel that most medical professions that deal with the mental faculties don't have a 100% picture of who/what/why/where.

With that said... I restate what I believe.

Mental issues can be cured... they are not ALL 100% that is how you are for the rest of your life. It is a hard and long journey with more pitfalls than you can shake a swinging vine at. Yes that was a video game reference.

I'm not 100%, but I have made that turn so to speak. Well at least for me I like to think so. I don't have all the answers... I just have the answers that worked for me.

Aside from physical health, mental health is equally as important at being exercised. The question is how do I exercise my brain.
