"I know we'll be find if we learn to love the ride."

I have recently come across a Showtime show called "United States of Tara." Though I can not relate to having a multi-personality disorder, I do am currently dealing with bi-polar 1. When hearing the lyrics to the opening song to this show a lyric stuck in my mind. "I know we'll be find if we learn to love the ride." There are times when the ride of my disorder can be overwhelming with the constant up and downs, the sleeplessness and the times when I can't sleep, and the times when I have to tell myself I may have this disorder, but it does not define who I am as a person. I have to enjoy the ride, and understand when I am up to embrace my mood. And, when I am down to find things I enjoy to do. When taking the time to step back to see where I am on the ride, and embraced the moment. It is by no means easy, there are times when I don't want to go through these things. I don't want to have to fake a smile around friends and my family because on the inside I am falling apart. But, when you find the right friends they understand and are there for you when you can't smile anymore. I will be find if I learn to love the ride! ( though these are just ramblings hopefully someone understands what I mean.)
