As a creative, what is your biggest struggle?

Bonus love if you tell me a bit about yourself and the kind of creative stuff you do.

Im not sure if this is what you are looking for but I think all creative types probably feel too much. More likely to be an empath and very sensitive, especially readers,writers,poetry lovers.

@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!
