I do love reading that list. :)
Very interesting!
You know what I like the most? He's someone who's had a nervous breakdown and look who he became. Speaking as someone who has, those with mental illness, however long or brief it may be, should never be defined by such a thing.
I think that alone is a really nice lesson from the past.
What a great list!
True mental illness is something I have promised myself I will blog about someday. When I don't feel quite so, well, mentally ill, for lack of a better term.
That is interesting!
