The creative types are rarely the stable types. Do a search for "Madness + Creativity" sometime and see what you find.
Is there any real data to suggest it must be so? Or do creative types simply use that as a bullsh*t excuse to act as if the rules don't apply to them them? Or . . . do we as a culture in some way expect, and even require, that someone have a dysfunctional lifestyle in order to qualify as a bond fide "creative type".
(My H is an artist. Can you tell?)
Of course it is an excuse. I was an impulsive creative type but when I had my kids, I got it together. Creative types tend to be kind of narcissistic if given too many accolades and success...makes sense.
So, I can go out with a struggling broke artist who makes me his muse or get treated like crap...yes, I realize there are other options.
