Bipolar Novelty: Is It Just Me?

Does anyone else experience something I like to call “bipolar novelty”? For me, everything feels novel at first, but I’m never sure if that’s a bipolar thing or just one of my antisocial tendencies. I’m the type of person who, once I decide I want something, I get it. The strange part? As soon as I have it, the novelty fades away. It’s like the thrill was in the chase, not in actually having it.

Take social media, for instance. Becoming a content creator wasn’t even my plan, it just happened as a byproduct of my blogging & shining a light on mental illness. The same with podcasting. I’d watch people like Joe Rogan and Theo Von, two of my idols and suddenly decided, “Right, I’m going on a podcast.” And then? Great, I did it, Now what?

People set these big goals getting verified on social media, hitting 10k followers on TikTok. I’ve done all of that, and more, in what feels like no time at all. Since June, I’ve maintained a flourishing blog, appeared on five podcasts, got verified on Instagram, gained well over 10k followers on TikTok, and even started a YouTube channel. Trust me when I say: It’s possible!!!!

Here’s the thing: I don’t just do these things for me. I do them to prove something, to myself and to others. To show that if you really want something, you can get it. Trust me. It’s all about manifestation and execution. Dream it, work for it, and make it happen. If I can do it, trust me, so can you.

But what’s it all really for? For me its novelty, next year I might decide be an artist 👩🏻‍🎨 “That’s Bipolar”.

Own Your Authenticity

Let me be clear: I’m not society’s idea of a perfect woman. I’m not the prettiest. I’m not the thinnest. I don’t have the lip filler, fake lashes, perfect hair, or flawless nails that so many people chase. I’m the daughter of two drug addicts and I have a criminal record as long as your arm. If anything, I’m rough around the edges, flawed, messy and massively imperfect. But you know what I do have? My authenticity, my neurodivergence, and my unapologetic “I don’t give a fuck” attitude.

That’s why I get what I want. Because I’m a hustler. If there’s one piece of advice I could give you, it’s this: ask. What is the worst thing that can happen? Someone says no. And when they do? You ask someone else.

Take what you want from life, because life isn’t going to hand it to you. And trust me, you’ve only got so much time before it’s too late. Don’t wait. Make your move. You don’t want to be lay on your death bed thinking “what if”.
