Today near the close of #MentalHealthDay2018, for any of you who deal with/struggle with/suffer with the challenges of bipolar or, like me, love someone who does, this is hands-down the best book I’ve ever read. Invites you inside & grapples theologically. https://t.co/tIXI3EtDih
That’s it. Knope, knope, KNOPE! Can’t take it anymore. I think I’m having a nervous breakdown. God knows I tried to play nice but knope. My answer’s knope. Knope for POTUS, for VP, for all the sens. Knope for pubs & dems. Knope for all SCOTUS. You’ve all gotten on my last nerve.
