Start The Journey

Life is something that one truly has no choice but to take part in, but life can also be an adventure if one chooses to make it one .

If one chooses to put the keys in the ignition, press start, put the car in gear, and put the top down; seeking out the new, the unknown, and feeling the wind in your hair.

When one chooses to take the risk of starting down the roads of the unknown it is not always a straight shot from where you are to where you want to be, there are more often then not unexpected twist and turns. Some of those turns may be exciting and some of them may hurt but when you are faced with unexpected turns is when you set things to sport, take the wheel in both hands and fling your self full force into those turns, savoring the sensation of the G's as you goose it through the apex of the curve facing you to find the next one ahead, mastering your skills with each turn. Learning and building memories of the amazing twist and turns.

As the best memories about life are not necessarily about what lies as the final destination but about the thrills, sorrows, and triumphs experienced along the road that lead you there.

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.
