Writing is a form of therapy;
Sometimes I wonder how all those who don't write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, the melancholia, the panic fear which is inherent in the human condition. Graham Greene
Go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something. ~Kurt Vonnegut
