Observation..artists tend to feel things so deeply and are hurt so easily. Its so easy to get lost.. its why so many artists struggle with drug addiction (as a form of self medicating) and mental health problems. I encourage those of you that might be feeling like you are going down the wrong path to take a step back and realize that your health is more important than anything.
Also think of how creating made you feel when you first discovered how much you loved it.
Art is a kind of escapism but also a way of understanding ones self. Know how blessed you are to have an outlet for emotions whether people see or hear it or not it is a way to make your spirit grow rich and sigh a sigh of relief. Not everyone has this.
Also making art to help/heal people is beautiful but making art to heal yourself is probably more important.
