1. I was fortunate enough to see some of the great works by Michelangelo when I visited Florence and Rome a few years back. They are amazing to see in real life! Except the Sistine Chapel, which was just really, really far away and hard to see. The internet has spoiled me.
2. I wrote about the Medici and Michelangelo today, too! My piece only mentions them to support a central theme, but still... great minds!
This gives me so much to think about. I see so much in common with my depression and my need to create and not being able to. Perhaps those of us with depression feel these emotions deeper than others because we tend to dwell more on our obsessions. All our emotions are not all negative when you have depression. I still can find comfort and almost relief during the process of creating, taking the mind away from troublesome thoughts, but with fatigue it is harder to initiate the act of creation.
I think if I were to send hundreds of letters of love to one person, there would be no doubt that it was passionate love rather than platonic. Sheeese. 🙄
Really love this description of how you find comfort and definitely agree that the fatigue makes it really challenge to create. That's been my ongoing experience. Sometimes the excitement of creativity will be enough to shake me out of the fatigue for a time but often that's not the case.
