#RealDeal: Living on both ends of the spectrum (Learning To Cope)
The most common response to revealing my bipolar disorder to “the world” has been from people who don’t understand mental illness. People who haven’t encountered enough people struggling with their sense of identity, and sanity. These people say things like “just think happy thoughts” or “you should just go out more.” I wish I could take such advice (and that such advice worked on any practical level, beyond letting the speaker feel good about themselves), instead I’ve always coped in much more damaging ways.
#RealDeal: An understanding of value while riding in a Gulf stream jet
Now, the title of this search starts with a "b" and is also indicative of the amount of money this person has. Having seen who this matchmaker deals with, I thought even having that word in the title for the search was all wrong. Nothing against the matchmaker at that to be honest, but you have to think about what you are going to highlight and who is going to respond and why. You have to think like a marketer!!
#RealDeal: Living on both ends of the spectrum (The "fun" side of manic depression)
I’ve never been good at thanking people or accepting help, but over the past year (especially since coming public with my illness) a number of people have stepped up and kept me from falling back into a really dark place, and I thought I’d thank them here.
#NerdsUnite: Adventures in Randomness and Rock & Roll w @leah_cevoli (Gypsy Mode Update Month 10)
Just a few weeks ago (Easter Sunday) marked the year anniversary of the day I put in my notice at my townhouse of 7 years in Studio City…Letting Go
#GiveAway: Who wants my #Coachella Swag bag with @GoPro @Seagate & @JBLAudio?
As you all know, it totally worked, but for ONE YEAR when all of this started, I literally had $10 to my name. I didn't need money, I had value. If I tweeted something, or if I pitched either a campaign or social media 101 education, I could eat, drink, party, travel ... anything.
The value was me and what I could do in social media in this extremely strange and different way.
#JBLTakesCoachella: My swag = up for grabs!
It was GREAT!!! Talk about an eclectic group of insanely, insanely smart people just having an authentic experience. No one pitched anything, no one said things "just to sound smart." We commented on the state of tech, our favorite apps & products, and the rest was groovy, man.
#NerdsUnite: Five Moves That Make You Look Bad in Bed (and How to Avoid Them)
If you’re a two-pump chump, can’t get it up or think “labia” is a country in Africa, they’ll find out pretty damn quick that you can’t take care of business. But what’s more disturbing? A woman can tell a guy’s hopeless long before you glimpse her undies—and that can actually prevent any action from even happening.
#NerdsUnite: So She Has a Boyfriend. So what?
If you really have balls – and you have to do this with extreme confidence – you can to look her directly in the eyes and say, “Listen, I’m going to lay it flat out for you. I rarely meet someone that I find this attractive, and you’ve got fucking killer energy.”
#DestinationDating: Water so clear you can see to the bottom. $100,000 cars, every body got em
About an hour before I had to leave for the event, I got a call from my mechanic.
Your convertible isn't going to be ready today. I just got it back from the window shop and we still need to put everything back together.
<tangent> This guy is TOTALLY badass btw. Not only did he just give me his car as a loaner, but the first day I went to his shop we kicked it and he even opened up his bar handing me a shot of tequila. (I didn't finish it since I was going to have to drive obvi) </tangent>
#Question: Does this make me insane? Or is this just another "breakthrough?"
I don't think we ever know the "right" decision, I say back to her. We just keep making a series of choices, but I do believe in listening to that inner guidance. You have to follow your gut, you can't be self-sacrificial to your now husband just because he asked first. You need to figure out what YOU want. (Thank you Drama of the Gifted Child.)
