I know nobody believes in prayer around here, but mine are with you anyway.
I've been through some rough experiences, though you have me beat. When I'm at the bottom the thought will come, "I'm going to take this sh*t in my life and use it as fertilizer to cultivate a new one."
The best art, I think, comes out of finding meaning in the suffering we go through. Personal development sometimes gives the impression we have to be these perfect people, but the truth is that we have to 'flip the script' on our imperfection (excuse the pun).
I implore you to create and do whatever you have to do to make it happen. My first love is writing and my second is music: I think as artists, we have a responsibility to express what is coming through us. You never whose life you might save. Perhaps your own.
Edit: You inspired to post on
my blog, which I haven't done in like a month.
