Oregon, my home!!!

As I look around my room, here in Amity, Oregon, I am full of a mix of emotions. This room was the beginning of my time here in Oregon and soon will be the ending of my time here in Oregon. My heart soars with joy and remembers the time when I thought I was healed of Bipolar Disorder and slowly began to go off my meds (after a counselor told me I was not bipolar, but broken hearted) under the eye of Dr's and counselors. My heart crashes at the same time because that decision was almost the end of me. It began a year of hard work and stability but in the end the crash of my whole life that sent me to a dark place I never wish to return to. I am amazed at the way life has turned out so far. How time is being redeemed and relationships are being recovered. My adventurous spirit is being restored and my love for Salsa dance and long talks at the coffee shop are being ignited. It has been a long year and some months and I continue to grow stronger as each day passes with its own ups and downs. What will the east coast bring me? How will I survive being so far from the mountains and ocean? Oh Oregon...you will always be home to me!!!
