I have decided with the new year that it's time to stop vlogging under Bipolar Courage. Want to focus on my creative hobbies. Will continue to upload to @soarpurpose https://youtu.be/CLXv1GDA6B8?si=pIlrC...

On New Year's Eve 2024, reflecting on this past year, while painting the final layers of 'Golden Hour', a sunset over a boat harbour. Some of the ups and downs, accomplishments and adjusting goals. In case you haven't realised, I am mostly over on my creative expression channel, @soarpurpose these days.

"Golden Hour". Final painting for 2024.
The phone camera exaggerated the yellow under artificial lights. So took a pic outside. Was overcast but closer to the actual colours.
Inspired by some pics I took when out for a bike ride.

Finished painting "In the Garden" today. Need to go for a walk to stretch my muscles. Fine whiskers are pretty tricky.

Went for a walk under the trees on a hot summer's afternoon. Yay for trees. Two tui zoomed past, chasing each other, just in front of me. I guess they can't tell the difference between a person and a tree when going at that speed.
Been watering Dad's memorial tree regularly. Grateful that it was allowed, as it provides a healing focus.

Felt like a subtle change, so dyed my hair a few shades darker. DIY "dark chocolate".
Hadn't coloured my hair in years.

Subscribe to my channel @soarpurpose to see what I am passionate about. Currently combining my knowledge of art, photography and science to test out lighting conditions before I finalise photo requirements for a virtual custom colour analysis service.
Colour has always been one of my lifetime interests. Quite appalled to see some people ripping others off though.

Video about Christmas time. Some people get excited about Christmas. I don't like the stress of extra people in shops etc. https://youtu.be/kGdGMFQfHl4?si=ElSgn...

"It takes courage to live with bipolar disorder. Bipolar gives me courage." Xanthe Wyse, New Zealand.
Memoir: "Bipolar Courage: are you sure you're not autistic?"
Semiautobiographical novel: "Pet Purpose: Your Unspoken Voice".
Both books focus on relationships with psychiatric disorders/disabilities. Both are on Amazon & major ebook distributors.
Current diagnoses ranked in order of impairment: mental injury of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); bipolar 1 disorder; mild social anxiety disorder; PDD-NOS (autism spectrum features).
Xanthe chose to highlight the most stigmatised diagnosis with her username. Independent thinker.
