So this actually started out as a comment on one of Kristin's entries, but then I decided it deserved it's own little place in the world. I think it was her saying something about how "so many masterpieces result from intense pain"...sometimes i think that maybe there's a reason that i've been so unhappy for such long periods of time in my life,

wow, yeah... it's unbelievable how many parallels between our entries there are. I've had the same feeling for a long time, not necessarily about writing, but just in general- that I'm meant to create something important. And I hate myself for sitting around and wallowing so much of the time, but it seems that experiencing the kind of pain that could result in something profound comes hand in hand with paralysis- physical and mental.

one of my biggest fears is what you said about looking back on my life and wishing I had more time. Sometimes I think these summers in which I promise myself I'll read all these important books and write at least a poem every day and play guitar for hours on end... and never end up doing a fraction of those things... are just microcosms of my entire life. That's what scares me the most.
