That which doesn't kill
you makes you stronger.
That statement is not
necessarily accurate. I mean illness does make the body physically
weak, it does not give you strength. Even emotionally things which
tear our soul and leaves us with emotional scars fails to make our
minds stronger, it leads to mental health problems. But for writers
like myself pain is fuel. I like to savour the pain, smell the
bouquet, swish it around in my mouth per se. What scent is this
now? This pain is a full bodied scent of tears peppered with a
smattering of heartbreak that is deliciously complicated. Once
uncorked and the palate is cleansed, this pain has a veritable
plethora of emotions. In it you will find a silky mixture of grief,
sorrow, regret, discouragement with the bold earthy kick of hope to
finish it off. It's not just pain that spurs my soul but the
pleasures in life as well, albeit they seem to be sparsely spread
out, this makes them sweeter This is. life. It is a mixture of
sorrow and grief, joys and love and sometimes they are all
interchangeable.
Okay enough of the artistic
crap. So much like Sisyphus rolling his rock shy of the precipice, I
am bound to my computer. Forever creating and never finishing.
Sometimes it does have it's benefits to be shackled relentlessly to
my computer. As I have stated before I created another blog under a
fictitious email and pseudonym, here under the cover of anonymity I
can let out what I like to refer to as evil Pam. Here I can blow off
steam rant and rave like a lunatic and use it as a tool like mental
floss. I also have found the benefit of exploring and avenue of
writing I am not accustom too. I can if I please use expletives as
punctuation. I have found it a useful tool. Because I am here tied
to my monstrosity of a computer held together with duct tape I might
as well use it to the best of my ability.
Also I have been creeping
the world of you tube. My wonderful friend has a vlog which I follow
and I have been admiring her bravery. We are working on a project
together. It should be entertaining to say the least as anyone who
could eavesdrop on our conversation would probably admit. I am no
Ellen, but when her and I speak on the phone, no matter how terrible
the day is, no matter how bad it gets we just about die laughing. I
also want to publicly announce how brave I believe she is for showing
the world the struggles that people with mental illnesses have to
endure. You can follow her at:

It seems a terrible tragedy that we live in separate provinces. But
my friend my heart is hugging yours and my love to you as always.
Keep fighting.
