The diversity and intensity of my emotions can be a good thing. As a writer, I can most accurately portray emotions that I've felt.
Being a perfectionist doesn't have to be a curse. When applied to my art, it gives me better results.
As a writer, being empathetic makes it easier to get inside a character's head.
I'm less likely to leave plot holes because I pay attention to details (mixing analyst and perfectionist).

For crying out loud, they're personality traits, not a curse! If it's a crime to feel strongly, lock me up!

So, yeah. I've decided not to be a slave to my mind. Not very productive. That is all.
