Without Bipolar Disorder,

Would I Still Be An Artist?


It is a question that I have asked myself many times.
I personally think that my own bd (bipolar disorder)
is unique to me as it is with each person. And taking
to account the severity of each persons bd.

Is Bipolar Disorder the cause of artistic genius,
or is artistic genius
the cause of Bipolar Disorder ?

I do not have the answer to that right now.
But as one who believes in God, I also ask
myself:

Is it a gift from God, and bd and artistic genius
are included as one package?

Not everyone
with bd is going to be an artist and vice/versa
But those of us that do have the classic symptoms
continue to carry the torch of true artistic genius.
