I realised something today
An artist can never be content............
because they only get happiness from instant gratification.
I coast through life waiting for the next high.......missing the simple things that greet me every day.

However, if you're truly driven to create and explore, then I am not sure that you can ever be satisfied. There is something within people like us that just keeps pushing us, and keeps making us re-examine the things that other people take for granted. One could argue than it has something to do with Platonism, and seeking forms and ideals then will never, ever truly be realised, even if we knew they are there. *shrugs*
To be honest I almost envy the normal people. It must be great to just to be a sheep and wallow in mediocrity without being kept all night worrying about the nature of human existence.
I think I am opposite, I enjoy the small things in life and that's what sets me free. I notice a look between two lovers, the way the sun sets, a quiet smile reading a heart-warming text... A mundane, average day can become a thing of beauty and pleasure rather than the soul-sucking rat race.
