"For me, artistic creation was a way of establishing inner peace. Diverse inner forces got the opportunity to express themselves. Not letting them speak means not knowing who and what kind of being you are. You get to know yourself by marshalling the forces in you that want to take form in the world."

Another brilliant piece, David. You're the reason I keep coming back to Medium. I hope they realize what a gem they have here.

I needed this today. I've been spending the last couple of days questioning what I'm doing with my writing, why I even bother. I was looking outward and not inward, where, as a creative, I should be looking for my worth. What I do should be for me, not them. Thank you. Again.
