Mardy Bum

There's this book that I've been reading. Well, in general it's about Life and melancholia.


Then of course, my friend who is doing Meds in Melbourne, reblogged a post on the great Virginia Woolf. I had to verify with her if whether Woolf had Bipolar Disorder. Then she said, in her psychology text book - "among the famous people who ever lived, of those depressed, 70% were writers." So Woolf had Depression and psychosis induced. Then she committed suicide.

I wasn't surprised. My enthusiasm grew. Even Carl Jung himself had psychosis. Jung claimed that, neurosis is knowledge. How else would you know more of your interior?

All the best people are bonkers. You'd be too normal, plain and boring if you weren't.

So there is beauty in breakdown, bak nyanyian Imogen Heap.

If only letting go is as easy as singing it.

If it was easy, one would have not made a song and sing about it.

If you ask me, it's one's adaptibility to life's circumstances. And strength to cope. It's not the hardest thing in the world either. Can't hold on to something forever

Sometimes, you'd have to let something go to let it grow.
