Mentally Ill?, Hookah and Knott's


I recently got in to a conversation with an acquaintance about the nature of insanity and the mentally ill, and I guess he didn't know about me (bipolar) because the stuff he was saying was really unnerving. I mean, I don't think of myself as mentally ill. But I guess I am. And is that what others say about me? I'm crazy? That I'm mentally ill? I am going to think more on this . . .

 

I think I've decided on a tattoo design for my 18th birthday.

 

Smoking hookah and pot with your pseudo/semi/kinda-boyfriend, his older sister and father, and two other friends is not something you really forget. Gina is Michael's sister who I've known longer than Michael himself and Michael is my pseudo/semi/kinda-boyfriend who I've known since middle school. I work with Gina at a dance studio (Did I say I got a job at a dance studio? Choreographing jazz/ballet technique and assistant choreographing hip hop). But her arguing with Michael in front of their father about whose pot pipe we were using was just something else.

 

The next day was Thursday and it was Taylor's 17th birthday so me and a bunch of others decided to skip school and go to Knott's Barry Farm. And Knott's on a Thursday morning is frickin empty, it was awesome. We immediately went on 4 rides twice each time. We basically finished the entire park in like 2 hours, but we were like, on the floor from dizziness. It was tough, but the day overall was pretty fun.

Everybody is a little crazy. It's all a matter of degrees.

 

One of the most prominent things about mental illness is IGNORANCE. I wouldn't get all funky because someone was talking out of their azz.

 

Crazy has good and bad connotations. I like him/her because he/she is crazy. usually means someone is not boring and doesn't sit there like a lump. The "bad connotations" of crazy usually have to do with the ignorance about mental illness.

 

The fact is that the vast majority of mental illness- even profound ones like psycosis and schitzo affective disorders can be managed with medication.

 

As long as your neighbor's black lab isn't telling you to kill prostitutes OR you don't think you are a dog and bark at people and occassionally hump a primo leg, I wouldn't worry about it.
