Van Gogh - Genius, despair and true beauty
Aquamarine blues, golden yellows, an already beautiful scene made all the more enchanting seen through the eyes of Van Gogh. It’s hard to deny that he perceived the world differently, desperately trying to translate the swirling colours of the natural world into art.

"You don't look sick"
If people can't see evidence of something they often deny it. Case in point, those of us who aren't sure there are omnipotent gods watching over us. But what happens when that same concept of "seeing is believing" is applied to people you know?

A Day in a Life of Someone Living with Schizoaffective Disorder
I am about to explain my day to day life with schizoaffective disorder. Honestly, my life is no different than anyone else other then when I am not doing well (meaning I am off my medicine or I have a new chemical imbalance in my brain from a stressful life change)

I Have Asperger's
I have Asperger’s. Better explained as a form of autism that makes you speak out of turn or about trains or unicorns or whatever peaks their interest. Usually, there is one interest that really makes someone with autism really entertained. Mine has always been psychology or cures of some sort, I like to fix people or make them see the best in themselves. Doesn’t seem bad right…well you’re wrong. I go to the absolute extreme meaning I date people to fix them or I find friends that need fixing. Most of my friends at one point needed help fixing themselves or had something wrong with them that I could somehow help with.
