I am me!

Postby SapphiricJade » Tue Dec 13, 2016 12:36 pm

Ahoy! I'm Jade. While I may not be new to the wonderful world of Psychology, I am very much new to this forum. I've been wondering for a while if a place like this existed on the internet, but didn't actively search for it until last night. Needless to say, I signed up immediately!
Ahh, what shall I say about me? I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge. Even if there's a subject that I might disagree with, I take the opportunity to learn as much as I can from/about it. I am diagnosed with Bipolar I and ADD, and it's been a less than graceful journey to get to where I am today. After all, my name is Jade, not Grace :P.
Overall, I hope to become an active member of this forum to not only learn as much as I can, but maybe I'll somehow be able to return the favor sometime along the way.

I shall end this post with one of my favorite quotes. It comes from a man who has inspired me time and time again.

"You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it."
-Robin Williams
“Clay is fashioned into vessels; but it is on their empty hollowness, that their use depends.”
~Lao Tzu

"In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."
~Abraham Lincoln

“I intend to live forever, or die trying.”
~Groucho Marx

Thank you :). There's a common trait that runs throughout both sides of my family: Finding whatever flicker of light we can in the midst of darkness, despite the high frequency of strange looks we might get for doing so. :P
