protect thy mind

i just had to share this with all you creative souls :)

"we writers, we kind of have that reputation, and not just writers, but creative people of all genres, it seems that have a reputation for being mentally unstable... but we don't even blink when we hear somebody say this because we've heard this kinda stuff for so long and somehow we've completely internalized and accepted collectively this notion that creativity and suffering are somehow incoherently linked and that artistry, in the end, will ultimately lead to anguish."

we all don't blink when we hear someone in hollywood or in the media industry getting depressed or that they get extreme mood swings like dr jerykll and dr hyde.
but this video gives us something to think about.
we don't always have to be in a pit because we think our best work is behind us.
