"My dad passed away unexpectedly when I was just 16. He was a wonderful, eccentric, and fantastic guy – and also quite a ladies’ man. My dad had bipolar disorder, which sometimes made him do things that all of us around him couldn’t comprehend. After he passed, we had to go through all his stuff, and as me being the older brother, I was assigned to go through his computer where I found an extended version of the so-called 'little black book' and a photo folder full of spicy pictures of all the women in his life.

As someone with bipolar disorder, my dad had his ups and downs, and he was far from perfect. But I loved him for all his quirks, wild ideas, and funny moments. Since my early twenties, I've thought a lot about the parts of him that I recognize in myself and my own behavior. For me it personally shows in my need for validation, a hunt for a youthful lifestyle, and being naturally drawn to a more chaotic and unstructured daily life. Parts of me that I sometimes wish I would be without."
