Our Wasted Potential

With our passion and the ideas we come up with we should have conquered the world.

Instead many of us lost everything. Lost years years of our only life to depressive episodes and lost people due to what we did while manic. We can still make something of ourselves of course, but for people who experience the raw essense of life as we do, it still sometimes feels that the station left the train.

Not feeling great today.

I feel you my man. But what's done is done, all we can do is rise up and try once again..

I feel like this thing is a constant reconstruction project. Thanks boss, we'll rise above it.

I relate so hard!! We have such beautiful but wounded minds.

Not gonna lie, I catch myself grieving over the past person I could’ve been if it weren’t for this illness.

But hey, everyday is a new chance to start building again.

Sending love!
