“Yes I'm Bipolar but I'm as normal as you except the times when my mind thinks like two”

“all I want is a room up there
and you in it”
― Frank O'Hara, Lunch Poems

“That's it: watch your moods. Don't let people see you fluctuate. Don't let yourself run your mouth. Never ever cry, even alone, because your cat or your kettle might tell. Always smile, but don't laugh loudly. Mania is an extrovert, but if you need to vent, tell your mattress or maybe your therapist, but put nothing in writing and never tell a friend or coworker how you're really feeling. Downplay any problem or joy. Pay attention to any signs that your life is shitty or excellent, because either is an illusion. Be careful around men, especially ones with big arms or opinions. Stop talking.”
― Elissa Washuta, My Body Is a Book of Rules

“When you read my poems or quotes remember you're stepping into the mind that steps outside of me”
― Stanley Victor Paskavich
