Today I was reading "Letters to Theo" from Van Gogh and I was thinking about...
I had stopped reading it, I don't know why but I read a few pages and then stopped reading the book and now that I analyze the situation, the reason for that to happen is probably that I wouldn't have understood the real meaning of the words if I hadn't done so much research about bipolar disorder, but mostly if Alex hadn't killed himself. Now I can see what's hidden behind the things Van Gogh wrote to theo and it makes me feel miserable to know that Alex died feeling like that. There are a few passages where he explains so clearly the way a manic phase feels (without saying anything about mania, of course)...
Maybe I'll copy some of them. Anyway, that's it for today. I don't feel like writing today.
