To me, Bipolar Disorder is dancing in the sunshine, while trudging through the rain. It's owning your mind in aspects never known to most people, yet at the same time, never owning it at all. It's seeing the world in all its beauty and also its ugliness. Feeling every emotion twenty-fold. It's never being able to forget, never being able to get away from your pills, and always hoping to at least make it by faking it. It is a gift, yet expensive.
