Amazingly strong post. Did you know I was bipolar as well? What are
you taking? I'm on trileptal, and it's changed my life!

Ha Micah — Uncanny how we are both aligned and posting about the same issue within a short space of time; it must be something in the ether…

I have a few people that I am making a point to meet or spend more time
with, you are on that list for sure! Plus, who knows, maybe we can find some
interesting ways to work together…

I think whats even harder is seeing the positive in the negative. We get to
a point where we see negative and forget that there is good stuff in the
middle of the mess. I dont want to miss that!

Great post! Though I know you will give me shit for saying so and accuse me of only commenting because you mentioned me. Though, this is why we're friends I guess :)

Great post, Micah. I can relate to a lot of what you said and love the idea of focusing in a positive direction vs. what is wrong. This year, I focused on only writing positive “tweets” (harder than it seems). I've found it's useful to recognize and accept negative feelings (not numb them out), but to also focus on how to move things in a positive direction.

Wow Micah. Fantastic post. I can relate to so much of what you wrote and I too hope that 2010 brings a whole lot less negativity and a whole lot more holistic absorption of positivity.

And of course super powers. Those we should all rock on with. :)

Happy New Year Micah, I hope our paths cross as the new year's adventure unrolls...

Hey Micah! Guess what?

When I see you or talk to you, or see your work or your blog posts or your tweets, I know that you are an imperfect being. I see sometimes that your shirt may not be perfectly ironed. Maybe your hair is unkempt or your beard scruff is more scraggly than the day before. But I like you anyway. Part of the trick is looking not just holistically, in aggregate, but around things. One has to immediately have a filter and understand what is important and what can be put to the side.

Einstein didn't have perfect hair. George Washington had wooden teeth. Bill Gates is Bill Gates.

It can be hard to look around things, whether you're bipolar, or if you're in any position where you have to be critical. (Work/Personal/etc.) I too had parents who would point out the A- or B+ and ask "what happened?". I get it. I've never been bipolar, and don't claim to have experienced the same that you have, but imperfections, and learning to deal with imperfections, are necessary for progression.

I personally think you are far from perfect. And I still think you are one of my favorite people. :)
