Well for Water

When the darkness finds you it looks a lot like the light. Many artists and writers are ill informed as to its illumination. Change becomes hunger and anxiety when faced with every new day, each new work, the feelings of adrenaline and despair mirroring the same level of intensity.
There is no logic or specific lecture you can draw on to endure what is happening to you when you discover a talent or desire to create. The synapse clicks and its rotors counter every movement until even acts of sexuality or daily requirements of living become contrary to the process of living.
Shakespeare wrote, “Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased?” Medication is what makes an artist an individual.
