The purpose of this site is for me to share my side of the world with those on the other side - perhaps increasing understanding of people like myself. Sometimes the most educational things don't come from textbook descriptions or lists of criteria - pschyobabble. I think the most educational things come from seeing what something is truly like. And I hope I can show you what the world of Borderline Personality Disorder is really about. That's all I'm trying to do.

This site includes my journal, my art, and anything about me that I feel like adding at the time - my own insights about my life and living with BPD. I've included my journal because I feel that it gives people a chance to 'see inside my head'. Which is something that most people don't get to do, especially with people with BPD. I think this is a good way of showing people exactly what I think sometimes. Some people ask me if I feel strange putting my journal online, especially considering sometimes I don't have the nicest or most logical thoughts. But I don't mind. I want people to understand me. I want people to read me and see just what I am like. And it's easy to do it online. Because people can read me and perhaps know and understand me a little, but they can never get too close.

My art is on here just because it's a part of me. I love to express myself through written word, but sometimes feelings come to me more in the form of images. Sometimes I just can't find the words. Like they say - a picture paints a thousand words.

The info about me is on here for the simple fact that it helps people to see who I am. Not everything in my life is about BPD. I *am* a person with interests, likes, dislikes. They might be ever-changing, but they're still parts of me.

I am not a spokesperson for this disorder, and I'm not trying to be. All I'm trying to do is share myself with the world. Make my mark. Do something that I can be proud of.
