As a creative, what is your biggest struggle?

@NorthernRoses I get this too, why do you think that's the case with you?

Mine blend and then they don't... lol

@NorthernRoses Tell me a bit more? Why don't you ever use them? Is there a specific reason?

@SW-User If your empathy causes struggle, then yes, that's what I'm looking for!

It seems pretty common that creatives are emotional. The Philosopher Freidrich Nietzsche actually did a lot of research into art. His stance was that the Greeks had better art than the Germans because they, as a culture, put more value on emotion. As a result, their art was less "sterile" and more vibrant.

There's also a book called Descartes' Error, which says something similar, or at least applies.

Thanks for sharing!

@SW-User Yes,exactly!!

@Whys0serious I'm actually really interested in comedy from an intellectual perspective, so I listen to lots of comedians, and interviews with them. There seems to be a pretty universal consensus that comedians are, as bill Burr says, "not healthy people."

So you're not alone in feeling this, it seems!

@SW-User Yeah, to see humour in every situation takes years of damage and an unnatural need to be liked. At some point the “sense” of humour becomes more of a disorder of humour 😅.

@Whys0serious I understand. I think being happy and healthy is probably preferred though.

Think of it this way: There's enough fucked up things in this world to write comedy about. One of them doesn't have to be you.

I wish you luck in finding balance, and living the life you want!

@sspec Community is something everyone needs. This is true of creatives as well.

No bonus required!

Here's hoping you find your tribe soon!

@SW-User 😌 Those missing discussions can only be done with selected one, my boss who has wheels in his feet that he somehow isn't able to spare time enough since past 2 weeks.
Thanks for hoping alongside me. 👍

@UndeadPrivateer Would you mind telling me a bit about why it's difficult, specifically? There might be a lot of reasons someone struggles with this.

@JupiterDreams What does "worthwhile" mean, my sweetest of Valentines?
