So yeah why not try something you've never done before?

That's a great question, and now that I think about it I find all kinds of things inspiring(good, bad, ugly, doesn't matter, I'm not picky), but I notice it the most that I'm inspired by my experiences with psychosis and mental illness in general. I love to create something beautiful out of it. I haven't been as psychotic as I have been lately so maybe that's part of it? I might be having to find some other sources of inspiration for now. Thanks for the thought provoking question, because you know of course everyone gives a paragraph answer when they're asked a simple question. Oh boy, I think I'm getting a bit hypomanic again. I cycle fairly fast but I haven't really paid it any attention until now since my pdoc mentioned to me that I was floridly manic last week. I know! I should paint what mania feels like. There we go, problem solved!
