Duped by dopamine

Depression, melancholy without the creative output. Yes, that's it.

Some people like to be miserable. Maybe I'm one of them. So much easier to create when there's a storm cloud to break through.

I like to be happy too. I like it all.

A chemical imbalance that needs to be corrected, what a load of rot.

I can only work well when I'm happy,
But working makes me happy, so I find just going for it creates happiness.
I know a lot of artists thrive on unhappiness. That would be great for me! Unfortunately I belong in the other 2 %.

It's not only artists who thrive on being miserable. I think it's a natural, normal human condition.

It's what we do when it happens that matters. Some will create while others destroy.
