It’s really fascinating that I’ve noticed I’ve just lost the ability to read very well with the development of my bipolar. It’s just one of those things that has gone out the window with my medication. That, and watching movies, which has really put a dent in my ability to form bonds with a new close friend.
It’s also fascinating that even though I’ve lost the ability to read, my writing skills and motivation have remained intact. I don’t really know what to make of all of this, and I don’t know what to say. I’ve noticed that in general, when I take the medication I tend to spend money impulsively. Not an exorbitant amount that I can’t afford, but enough that makes me feel slightly wasteful. All in all, I tend to purchase things that I don’t really need. Yet, in retrospect, I think that this is a shared phenomenon.
I don’t really know how all this will affect my path in architecture. In my heart, I still feel that this is the most logical path for me given my training and what lies ahead in the world of MRI and academia. But what if I’m wrong? I guess there’s just no way to know, for there’s no way for one to predict the future.
