Light and Darkness, an apt title for this blog. I liked the font chosen for the header. Clean and crisp. The blue and white page is soothing. I scrolled down and found a plethora of links to archives, other blogs, and information on BiPolar disorder at the bottom of the list.
I spent some time going through the 100 Things she had provided. I have always found those lists a daunting project, but she manages to give you a kaleidoscope of information, both trivial and profound. Side by side. Which turns out to be the style of the whole blog.
I read all the recent entries and some more in the archives, and was drawn more and more into the realm of a person who struggles with life each and every day. Swaying from breathtaking honesty, to silliness. She emerges as a philosopher whose eye falls on so many subjects, it’s hard to keep up, but hold on I did. And began to admire her tenacity in the face of the difficulties she has faced and is facing now.
There is a section that sorts her entries into categories, and there I found scans of original drawings, poetry and short story type writings. She is a prolific writer and the entries hardly ever fail to capture one’s attention, one way or another.
While this blog would be an inspiration to others suffering from BiPolar disorder, it is in no way limited to that audience. There is so much variety here, I think there might be something for everybody.
