Keeping A Journal

So I am considering starting to keep a journal, to hopefully write in daily, about how my day went how I feel and all those sorts of things to try and help clear my mind a little and maybe even allow me to more easily see things and figure things out about my self, stuff that for the most part would probably be quite boring and not something that others would necessarily want to read, so have no fear I don't plan on turning my blog into any more of a journal then it already is. But I was wondering if any of my readers keep a journal, and if you do what do you do to stick with it? As I have tried to keep a journal at multiple points in the past with out a whole lot of luck, even though I found quite often simply putting the thoughts down on paper is almost therapeutic in a way. Not only that but it is also a much more privet format one in which I am not nearly as bound to worry about proper grammar or my lack of spelling abilities.

But also don't fear that this spells the demise for my blog, as it most certainly dose not, and if even a fraction of my hope is meet, indeed it would provided some fuel for this blog, and possibly help provide some clarity to me over issue that I have brought up in this blog that I an dealing with. Besides you never know having some clearly laid out ideas that one can easily reflect back on might even help my blogging abilities, as there will always be things that I want to share with others, even if they are things that I might not yet be ready to share face to face every one yet! So if any of you guys out there have an tips about keeping a journal/diary I would be quite interested in them. As always thank you for fallowing along with me on this crazy journey threw life.

Mental Health Awareness

As some of you may or may not know May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and as such I thought I would write a blog post to try and help do my part to help raise awareness, and end the stigma of mental illness. I also hope to show provide some hope in the process. As many of you already know I have a mental illness, and that is Bipolar Disorder, which I was diagnosed with only relatively recently, about a year ago, although I have had it for a nice chunk of my life. It is something that while I am still just in the beginning stages of starting to understand and control, I don't feel that it is something that I should have to be ashamed of or have to worry about others finding out about it. unfortunately though there is quite a large amount of stigma that surrounds mental illness especially "serious mental illness", which they are for those that suffer from them (and those close to them as well) unfortunately though it also makes it sound scarier t...

Smothering

Nothingness sneaks in first filling in the hidden corners of one’s being, then slowly spreading like a black mass, smothering all the lies in its path, draining the life out of life itself. Yet its familiarity in a very twisted way brings some level of comfort, as if a treasured blanket on a cold dark evening. http://anothwestview.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-storm-clouds-gather.html

Tick Tock by Dean Koontz, A Review.

So it is time for another book review, after a long hiatus from reading, where I did not make time in my day to do so, I have started up again. And the first book in that list was Ticktock by Dean Koontz. I picked it up at the book store mid day, and by that evening I had read the book cover to cover. I absolutely not put the book down, to the point that I would get irritated when other people would interrupt and make me put it down. The book grabs you from the start and never lets go, never leaving you a spot that you would even think of being able to put it down and pick it up latter.
