I have, and I like it. It pretty much sums up life these days. Keep it simple. Don&#8217;t be stupid. That&#8217;s how I try to live my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn&#8217;t ask to be mentally ill, but it is my burden to bear.

Learning to live with bipolar disorder has been difficult when I long to have a nice, simple, normal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every day, I count my blessings. I am thankful for any periods of normalcy I have. I am thankful for the roof over my head and the food in my belly. I am blessed with family and friends, and I am so fortunate to have a decent job. I am lucky to have drive and motivation, and I pray to have the strength to see me through to meeting my goals along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wish the same for you!
