"FEAR...False Evidence Appearing Real"

> I was a Naive art student who believed for creativity one had to live like a bohemian and to exist in a world of angst. Little did I know the stereotype existed for a reason, depression "rears it's ugly head".

Isn't it ironic, Ippopo? We were attracted to the idea at first. The bohemian's angst had a strange sort of romantic appeal. It attracted the artist's kindred spirit and yet gave the artist an early glimpse of a less-than-romantic future- a future involving depression or mental illness on the whole.

Having depression or any other kind of mental illness is no bed of roses. But let me tell you one thing: Atleast the bohemian artist (with or without his/her existential anxiety) seemed to be alive! He/she was at least a human being; he/she was immune to the ruthless corporate ladder climbing that destroys a human being's soul.

I, for one, would like to keep the bohemian arist alive in me. It has been almost 2 months without meds. I don't like the depression or anxiety but my artist/musician self likes the fact that I have refused to sell out on her. How about you??

Creativity VS medication
