"YOU'RE NOT CRAZY, YOU'RE DRIVING YOURSELF INSANE"
Whoa. Some people may have just let that paraphrased line slide. Kind of hit home. Watched "Girl Interrupted" last night. I've heard the book was better, but the essence of the story really was "there" for me in 3D and flashing lights.

Creative Curse
Historically, society considered the creative and inspired odd and dangerous. What I pulled from this movie was that "Creatives" are more dangerous to their own well-being than to society as a whole. The war of creative thought, rationalism vs. conceptual thought can often be too much to bear... leading to a sense of surrealism in life. Good for producing creative thought, bad for living the mundane day-to-day.

To self
Since I started this new journal many of the thoughts I've shared have been heavy at times, and really not as cryptic as I would have thought. Objective lessons through serious thought. Seems writing them down gets them out of my head and makes room for further thought. Otherwise, the maddening clutter blocks reality from view... or so it sometimes feels. The release is most important. Through design, music, writing, drawing, and conversation... this is how we can express, and keep ourselves sane. If this is you, surround yourself with listeners.

.. but of course, just as Whoopi Goldberg, I'm not a doctor.
