I've decided to create a blog that journals my issues with bipolar disorder. This is not a political campaign or a lecture on mental health (although there are of course so many misconceptions about it), nor is it my self-prescribed 'therapy.'

I thought it would be interesting to see if I could log in from time to time and keep track of what's happening in my head, and consequently in my body. Yes, this is self-exploration. Yes, this is self-indulgent. It is not that I think my mind or situation is particularly interesting or important; rather, this is a personal effort to resist the increasingly anemic state of society (North American anyway) which seems to have successfully convinced us that production and corporate gain far outweigh the significance of contemplation and self-exploration. This will be my attempt to engage in a conversation that flexes between me and the world; I am the incidental archivist on this side of e-space. It is not true that any one person matters more than another. I think the truth is everyone matters.

I am 34 years old and live in Victoria BC, Canada.
