Bio
Buddha is love.
-the dalai lama
I am not exactly sure when it was that I decided to keep an online journal. All I know is that I did and it morphed and changed until I found a permanent home on LiveJournal. And even here on LJ, it has had several incarnations. I prefer to think of them as a chapter in my life closing and another opening. My name is Julie, and this is the current one. I am still learning how it is to live a somewhat peaceful coexistance with a mental illness so I talk about that alot. But I also talk about my life which is more than a mental illness. Welcome aboard if you are so inclined.

"I believe in fact, and I believe in the plain truth told wholly - that the truth retold can be a net thrown around life at a certain time and place, encompassing all within, and that people can go there, live as actors, work within their staging ground, do so with a soft heart; I want others to go out into the world with an idea, with intentions and means, and come back with a story of how their actions affected the world and how they themselves were shaped by the results. I have a belief that such endeavors can improve the world, however recklessly, especially when these people go forward and interact, give, solve, change the situations they encounter - and also, even those with no intentions of recording their actions. There's nothing to be gained from passive observance, the simple documenting of conditions, because, at its core, it sets a bad example every time something is observed and not fixed, or when one has a change to give in in some way and does not, there is a lie being told, the same lie we all know by heart and which needn't be reiterated. Friends, I urge you to find us hopeful. I urge you to find that we tried something, knowing nothing of the results."-You Shall Know Our Velocity - Dave Eggers
