Sometimes, being a creative person is tough

When it comes to songwriting, we're creating something. When it comes to producing a song, we're creating something. When it comes to singing out an improvised melody, we're creating something. When it comes to teaching music, we're creating something. When it comes to writing a post on a subject - we're creating something.

I do all the above - and sometimes, creating something (ANYTHING) is mighty tough when you've got other issue's in your life to deal with.

Sometimes I feel that I should use these emotions to create something else. A song, a piece, an arrangement - or even a story. But the truth is, whatever's bugging you often finds it's way to cut through your intellect to actually make the decision to create. Am I not right?

How else are you supposed to justify all the wasted hours we spend on useless, worrisome things? Sorry if this sounds like a rant, it's just that sometimes (and believe me, this *very rarely* happens) I can't help but think of things that bother worry me - even if they are small and petty. And as I mentioned, time goes by so quickly, it's not even funny.

Sometimes, being a creative soul means that you are sensitive to your pain just a little but more then perhaps your friends. You find it hard to think logically when perhaps if you do, then the creativity might diminish.

This post is now going to end here.

I just had to say something...
