Every turn of the spool circles your experiences, hopes, and dreams. Not always in place the thread is still there on the spool. It tells of the twists and turns, the ups and downs, the successes, and the failures. The thread can be put back straight on the spool like our life experiences. It takes a long time to get to the end of a spool of thread.
Most people never do.
Bipolar people need to have a new spool so the thread is always there. A slim price to pay for the spool of life. It always is. Your mind can tie it for you. A strong thread can tie the knot of a panicked life.
