The movie ‘Love & Mercy’ is playing tonight nearby, and it is one of my favorite bio-pics I’ve seen in recent memory. The scene where he starts to recognize his schizophrenia really hits hard. I remember when my mother started suffering from dementia and Alzheimer’s, it was painful to watch. If you can’t trust your own brain you really don’t have much. I’ve had thoughts that this is my destiny and I can get a little dark dwelling on it. But you never know, science and medicine are always making strides to further enhance our lives, so you should never really lose hope.

Brian Wilson, I believe was probably on his own wavelength as well. He was brilliant and innocent at the same time, but everyone around him recognized and embraced his differences. So, I carry on knowing of my genetic predispositions and have to have faith that my mind won’t fail me, as long as I stay positive.
