If anything: Use the present to plan for the future. The present is fleeting. The future is infinite.

When I’m struggling, I try to figure out what is indespensible in my life
I focus on figuring out what the things I absolutely need are and then I set my mind to taking care of those things
For me, I’ve had to make a lot of hard decisions over the last few years about what to put energy into. A lot of the time, I hate the conclusions I’ve made, but I think they’ve been right as it’s allowed me to be what I need to be at the time
I think other than that, I believe that life should always be as fun as it possibly can be, but sometimes we have to make decisions to do not fun things to make it fun
For me, that was learning to take care of my chores efficiently. I hate cleaning, but doing it daily made me so much happier
I guess the last thing I’d say is this, make sure you appreciate every day for what it is. And make sure you remember to be thankful for the people and things that make you happy.

i’ve not been on meds, i’m little phobic of them but i think it’s something that’ll be temporary for you
i can’t imagine having to stay home while you’re manic though, that’s really hard
but i think that creative people can be tempted to burn really bright, but you’ll be able to have more control over you’re flame, and be able to create and recover

don’t worry too much about how you look, worry about how you feel. make art, all the time. If you’re not working on something be planning for the next thing.
yes, we can do that, for sure
Drink enough water. try to have a decent relationship with at least one family member. Always be reading at least one book. fuck money and ladder climbing, ask yourself every day “am I happy” and if the answer is no ask ‘why the hell not’ and ‘how can I fix that’
Give at least one random compliment a day, don’t read the newspaper, and learn to make pie.
those are my secrets to contentment\

- How do I know that I exist?
- If a computer had the right programs, would it have a mind; in other words, is true artificial intelligence possible?
- Does the sensation of color reveal intrinsic features about color?
- How do I know that I exist?
- Does the sensation of color reveal intrinsic features about color?
- Am I certain that I am not dreaming?
- Am I directly conscious of features of sensations or experiences?
- Does every belief need to be justified by other beliefs and will that lead to an infinite regress?
- Isn’t there a common sense response to skepticism?
- How does the traditional account of knowledge being a true justified belief fail?
- Is something true solely because people agree that it is true?
Send me your postal address if you enjoy these kinds of questions. I have some hard questions to answer these days.

Today is the first day of real life Chess. I don’t know the rules, but I already think I’m winning.
I don’t know my diagnosis, but I think it’s Trans-mania. I’m tripolar and I’m about to embark on my first album. I would like to read Musicphilia by Oliver Sacks first to get the game rolling.
I hope that it’s useful to me in the way I think it will be. I would like to translate it into a visual medium.
We will see how far I get with this project. Is this my 30-day challenge? or am I going to DaVinci it? Stay Tuned and find out more, later. I will try my best.

As a “manic” person, I am terrible with money. Today, my ally and I went shopping to get “essentials” for the new home.
We went to Back Yard Coffee, Bed Bath and Beyond, Tacos de Gamelos, Costco, Target, and El Marcadito Latino. I called several people, including a man who returned my call. I am going to see a psychiatrist about cleaning up my “permanent record.” I will report back. Hopefully, I was just mistreated and misdiagnosed and he’ll recognize that I am healthy for my age and I should just drink more water. I am very pleased with our day.
Follow me on instagram for the latest and greatest. I’m learning how my ally functions as well. We are both sleep deprived humans.
I organized some boxes and cleaned out the living room and ordered some nice nomadic furniture so when we move, it won’t be such a pain.
I have to admit, I enjoy wearing the same clothes and eating the same food if it means I don’t have to think as much as I do. Peace of mind is on its way.

My mania was focused by playing cards by Brit Zerbo. Abstract lovely things that mean nothing. Things without meaning. I highly recommend them to anyone who is in the middle of a manic attack and have no where to turn without the voices following them. Those voices used to be “you” but at some point with all the self-talk, you agreed that they were “other.”
This is why I created my pantheon. If they were going to be there at all, they would be my friends and not strangers.
I will post more on this but I am seeing a person tomorrow who will help me “kick” my diagnosis.
