i am reminded of that dave matthew's song...do you know it?
"And my hell is the closet Im stuck inside
Cant see the light
And my heaven is a nice house in the sky
Got central heating and Im alright
Yeah yeah yeah cant see the light
Keep it locked up inside dont talk about it
Talk about the weather
Yeah yeah yeah cant see the light
Open up my head and let me out little baby
Here we have been standing for a long long time
Treading trodden trails for a long long time
I find sometimes its easy to be myself
Sometimes I find better to be somebody else
So much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
So much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say"
i feel...opened up. alive. good even. lol
and there is so much to talk about.
i think i want to talk about mood. whatever i am doing in my life...mood has been such an overwhelming force. mood has colored all of my visions, actions, dreams, and self perspective. i am feeling good at the moment and so this is a perfect time to stand back and to take stock, and to reflect upon things from this side.
and there is much i want to say.
i am just thinking out loud. what do you think more defines a person....is it the challenges one has to face or is it how the individual handles those challenges?
i have met folks who have gone through some of the same life experiences as i have yet we can be as different as night and day. so there is something more to people than what happens to them. what is that something more which makes us unique from one another?
hello. i am a nameless blog writer floating in the nether regions of cyberspace. i could be your neighbor, your friend, your sibling, or co-worker. i am but one of many people out there who suffers with a mood disorder.
and i am ready to talk about it.

Good for you. Talking things out, even if virtually, always helps me. I hope it does for you too.
I know that what truly defines a person is how he handles his challenges. The person who survives is the one who will recognize that good can come out of bad. This is a person who will find things to be thankful for, no matter how bad things get. This is a person who will always find ways to give of himself - more interested in giving than receiving.
Oh' Meryl...Sometimes..well..sometimes I fell like I'm all a mixture of different people inside. I can be happy one moment then a word anchors me back to a time when everything was bleak and there I go spiraling...I can be confident one second and desperate the next...I decide to do one thing then regret it the moment after...
But there's a good side to this I guess...I somehow give room for people to be...
Sometimes I capture a string of words that convey the essence of what I'm feeling and belt it down in my blog...rare moments though...And to read you write about your moods in a very honest way...like I was with you for real right there would be such an honor.
Ah, nature or nurture? Both of course. Both the challenges and reactions to will define us; also our goals, dreams, desires, so many defining moments in life.
An unexamined life is not worth living---you GO GIRL!
Diane-
I like your thinkings out loud!
In answer to your question, I think it's how a person handles their challenges. They can be an optimist or a pessimist. What's interesting here is that, as much as I don't like it about myself, I'm usually a pessimist. Except when it's about my MS. Then I'm always optimistic. Maybe it's a coping mechanism?
hey thanks for all the great comments. everytime i come here...it is so nice to see you all. and thank you...new people...for stopping by. i really appreciate it and i will have to pay you a visit.
"what do you think more defines a person?"
The experiences they have been through and their reaction to them.
I was very moody in my 20's, but marriage has really mellowed me out. I'm relatively peaceful and easy-going now. Then again, maybe I'm just getting older and wiser.
