Yes... being creative sure can trigger a lot for me. But that's cuz I have it all bottled up inside, and when I let it out it comes with it's consequences.

I can deal
as long as it's not real
but when I let it out
there is no doubt

I can't pretend it isn't real
so it's this delusion that I will steal
a delusion that i'm okay
but if I let it out, I know I will pay

it's the emotions that run so strong. it's what makes what we do meaningful... deep... something to be celebrated. but yes, it does come at a price. but do we keep it all bottled up inside, or let it out and try to make sense of it? I guess the answer would be to practice and try our best to focus on the positive emotions to help balance out the negative ones. don't stop being creative though, it's the best outlet.
