Life's Interruptions

Back in 2007, I was trying to learn how to give up on my life-long dreams and accept a life of folding sweaters at Macy's and waiting to die. I was pretty non-functional in every way that someone with a mental illness -- in my case -- bipolar disorder, could be dysfunctional. But in the fall of 2007 I started this blog and went about the long, exhausting path of getting back into the world. Starting the blog, which seemed like a lark I would maybe update for a month, then never look at again, eventually saved my life, along with several other people, places and things that all came into motion the next two years until I got to a point where I could leave St. Louis and get back out into the Big Wide World and resume my quest for whatever this life is.
