That's so true about artistic types. I've wished so many times that I didn't have this creative drive within because it does cause me pain, but I can't make it stop so oh well. It's so easy for me to compare myself to others and then just feel horrible about myself. Over the last few years, I've been working on just trying to accept who I am right now and work toward the goals that will bring happiness in my life. My negative thought patterns still creep in.... some days are better than others....but now I'm just rambling. lol
