Anyone else here an artist/writer/musician? It's weird because I grew up reading biographies of writers, composers, artists and began to realize so many of them also had suicidal tendencies. Makes me wonder if there is something about us artistic types. Creativity can bring such pleasure, but can also open your eyes to the horrors that exist within and without. It's also very lonely i think.

I write fiction and was a piano performance major back in college.

I don't do anything related to art, but my mom is an art teacher and she tried to teach me since I was little. I think that artists are either very sensitive people who suffer a lot or drug addicts with screwed up lives, maybe both

I consider myself an amateur writer. I mostly write poems which are about my feelings, kinda like journaling but you can just say they are unrelated to you if someone reads them lol.

I'm a musician, I studied about it since I was little, but I had to leave it a few years ago because I moved, I no longer have instruments or motivation.
