And as a teenager, I still wrestled with my tie-ality. A snazzy bow tie would have transformed this high school photograph, and me. Bow Tie o’ the Day is helping me reflect on who I was then, compared to who and where I am now. It’s not an exaggeration to say my ties saved me. Three years ago, my bipolarity had me almost beat. I hadn’t worn my ties for years. But when I finally put one around my neck, the confusion lifted. Seriously. I was back in fightin’ shape. 🥊 🏋️♀️
