Although I am Bipolar, Type II, I must say that was an excellent book. I relate to it, as I do Wasted, and thank you for posting the quote. :)

I just finished reading it yesterday, I love Marya's style of writing, her honesty and no-holding-back way of talking about her life.
You are brave, just like she is. xx

Bless your heart. That is the sweetest thing said to me in a long, long time. <3

Her vivacity is what gets me, along with the incredible honesty. That book took me on a trip. (Though "Wasted" tops it for me, but we know why even though I suffer from Bipolar. I could relate to her but I am not type I, which is no less suffering but if you research, just different and actually has a higher suicide rate.

Being said, I'd be honored if you'd interview me for my site. If you don't want to, that's fine as well. You're just someone special I thought of, that came to mind.

I will :) I will think of some questions & email you in the next couple of days ♥ I can't wait to see your site. I'm so glad you are working on creative projects at the moment.

I would be absolutely honored to have you interview me questions. They can be serious, silly, or a mixture of both. I really want my site to be representative of myself and this is one way I can do that aside from my "music." (I need vocal training bad. Thankfully someone I know is highly trained in that.) And if you don't mind, send me positive vibes on the Madonna ticket-buying Saturday. (Though we may have to eBay it. I am fucking going, dammit! :D Hell or high water.

And now, time to go to bed. I hope you have a good day.

You mean Marya has another book? :|

Madness: A Bipolar Life. It came out in March or April, I think, so very recent. It's really good :)

Is that her new book ??? It's out???!!

I think it came out in March or April; you can get it here: Madness: A Bipolar Life. it is definitely worth reading ♥

And I wish I felt like a creation of my own mind and my own stories but I feel more like a creation of other people's minds and their stories and the roles they have cast me in. Having no sense of self is a problematic thing :/

i understand; sometimes though, i think that other people's stories become a part of you, and you form your identity/sense of self through their eyes, as well as through your own. if that makes any sense :-\

that does make sense so it's probably true for everyone...

inspirational!

okay. that was exactly what i needed to read right now.

not even kidding.... it just helped me to structure my paper/artist statement which is based around the same ideas... i just couldn't put it into words.

now to turn that into 6 pages..


love you. xoxoxoxo

That is a fantastic quote & I really didn't realise she had another book out, I'll have to try and find that.

I love that.

Thank you for posting that.
