Self portrait. I have Dystonia, a neurological muscle disorder. My muscles spasm and tremor, pulling my body into painful postures. At times, the condition inflames all at once with a large amount of muscle spasms, fatigue and pain usually sending me to bed for a few days. We call this a Dystonic Storm. During my storms, my facial muscles twitch and spasm uncontrollably. This edit is my abstract interpretation of such a storm, created as therapy during an episode.

I get that feeling I'm talking... by Valeri

I get that feeling I'm talking to the wall, Can you hear me at all? Look, my world was shaking my mind was quaking, my heart kept breaking, I threw it against the wall. Can anyone feel me at all? So, can you tell me what have I done so wrong, To you? Tell me what am I supposed to do?...

I don't mind if you wait but i don't waste my time, crazy is just fine cause i like where i'm going. I won't justify the way i live my life cause i'm the one living it, feeling it, tasting it, and your just wasting your time trying to throw me a line when your the one drowning, i like where i'm at on my back floating down in my own riptide, the water is fine....
