I work with this person who is what I called "wired."
She will probably never loose her mind.
Life is explainable to her, understandable. She is punctual. She is articulate. She is a team player. She is fair. She is, above all, appropriate.
Do I envy her? Would I want to be her?
Not a chance.
I'm set in my ways. I like the intensity of feeling that comes with bipolar illness.
I guess I would not want to be "wired."
Would you?

Having spent much of my life in the world of the arts and then grass-roots social development, plus being a gay man has really left me a bit out of the mainstream. That has given me a fair amount of leeway in terms of being seen as weird or crazy. However, I no find the mainstream fascinating and my work there is made fascinating by that.
I am, and have always been afraid of being seen as crazy, whever I was. However, I'm reaching a new state of peace with myself where whatever "craziness" people may see is their business. My efforts are directed at making a day work.
