What amazes me about so called normal people is that they try and make everything good all the time. As any type of artist you don’t have a problem being angry, emotional or negative. You don’t feel the need to sugar-coat anything. You don’t have to cheer up, or look on the bright side. You can just be mad, pissed off, hysterical or depressed and fuck what anyone else thinks.

Van Gogh never put on a happy face he preferred to cut of his ear.

Pollock didn’t want to be less of a fucked up negative bustard so he just drank non-stop.

Did Francis Bacon paint happy frolicking sheep to make people think he was a good guy? no, he preferred to render the human body as twisted and grotesque as he viewed his love of men to be.

Because every artist knows that extreme emotions are vital. Having them means you're really alive and living every painful and glorious moment. Normal people however, avoid strong feelings because they feel they will loss control.

With me, it’s not about what or who I lost anymore, I am over that. It’s about being where I am right now.

If you understand that, then you have the spirit of an artist. And the freedom to be truly yourself.

If strong emotions scare you, don't worry your just normal......
