Tonight I attended an online seminar with musician and artist Brandon Boyd, of the band Incubus, with The Other Air Fair on Instagram. He said something very interesting regarding mental health and I wanted to make a note of it which may benefit my writing:
"As artists we are more prone to those things because we are more sensitive by nature. The more you create a life around art, the more you are opening that door more and more and giving it more permission to come in and if you don't have certain tools or skill sets or maybe a vernacular to be able to describe and / or assimilate that experience it can feel quite extreme. I've learned that by surrendering to the creative flow, the experience became consistently quite blissful. I think some of the mental health stuff comes when we "fight" the experience of creating."
