You simply must write the words down in the comments if you want me to be able to follow your speach. I find it a little fast and maybe a little monotone, and I doubt you speak like this when in a normal conversation. Infact reading and listening at the same time is probably for me the best way to absorb information. I got linked here from a Linda Hamilton youtube post.

Quisiera ser un piojo o una pulga, asi podria estar cerca de tu mente, tener la oportunidad de sentir esa magia que vive en ella.

Wow, ok honestly I was really annoyed the first minute of this but then I remembered how it related to the bipolar experience (Im bipolar too) and then I never wanted it to end. You got it down sooooo good. The energy and euphoria from the manic episodes, the racing thoughts, the darker thoughts, the black and white for the depression then how you were kind of almost reflecting at the end.

liking the music box -esque sound. its like little specks of light in a cloud. puffs from the cigarette.
