My creative process is so strange. I find that (most times) my creativity is much more stimulated by anguish than serendipity.
I always seem to do my best work while in the throes of some sort of (seemingly) mortal pain.
Weird.
It’s always been the case with my artwork, writing is a slightly different story. I can always write, but some of my best work has come from agony as opposed to ecstasy.
I wonder why that is.
Maybe I’ll figure it out someday, long after it actually matters.

curro ergo sum 
you are just so terribly awesome… you could be writing from inside my own head.
Haha thanks! And it always trips me out when I see something someone else has written that seems like something I’d say!
I’m the same way. A lot of my poetry is dark and sad. I just seem to be more creative during those times. If I had to venture a guess as to why that is I would say it’s because I have no problem sharing with others when I’m happy or there’s good news but have you ever noticed that if someone asks how you’re doing, even if you’re terrible, you/we reply, “I’m fine,” or something similar? The way I see it, those feelings have to go *somewhere*. Purging is good and necessary, no matter how you do it.
Yeah I hardly ever talk about how I’m feeling about things, it’s just so much easier to write about it. I find that most people don’t really want an answer when they ask how you are it’s more a function of the social pleasantry exchange than an actual interrogative.
