I agree.

I actually disagree with this. Kinda sick of the whole tormented artist fallacy, as though anyone with creative talent is also somehow cursed with a proclivity towards depression/”madness”/suicide anymore than anyone else in the world.
What about all the gifted people who aren’t self-destructive? And what about all the people who aren’t brilliantly creative who do struggle with mental health issues?
Frankly, it just annoys me when people pat each other or themselves on the back with this nonsense about a hierarchy of deep, tortured souls who are cursed to sup from both the holy grail of creativity and the well of human suffering and then the pond-shallow but perpetually smiley plebeians. Bleh.
Isn’t it at least as fair to say everyone’s got both creativity AND batshittery in them…?  :)

 ahahaha well said.
