It's beauty can get you out of your low;
Make you feel high.

You slowly lose yourself in it;
All the while
You thought you were finding yourself

Pretty soon you're writing,
Or singing,
Or sketching,
Or all of the above.

You are nothing without it.

Well isnt art the reason to live for artists? Just like how people find reasons to live in children, science, work, education, family… you would have to call them addiction too

And that would Jody hildebrant level

Yea bro, I don't remember writing this one 💀, i think i wrote this after getting really into daniel johnston maybe, bros life was tragic.

When i found it, it just accosted me
So i figured i would post it

But i mean, i think it all is an addiction in a way 💀, i mean, not in the traditional inherently bad way,
But all those things you listed can be toxic if you place all your purpose eggs into one basket.
If you do, suddenly that thing is your everything and you might as well be it, although the ideal version of it likely seems out of reach which id imagine would lead to a midlife crisis (i.e a revaluation of values)
