Spent half day thinking about the saying “Art never comes from happiness” (I work with kids and teenagers please give me a break)

It’s oversimplified but yea if Simone de Beauvoir wasn’t that cold irresponsible b her beloved probably would never get the Nobel prize in literature - he’d just happily chew  croquettes in their family kitchen instead of writing the “Nausea”. If Franz Kafka’s dad wasn’t that selfish and dominating he would be just a happy Jewish clerk (pale and slightly sickly, but it’s still better than all those daddy issues). If Dostoevsky didn’t discover the power of existential empathy and compassion one second before his execution (commuted at the very last moment) he’d probably write daily news reports easy for a no brainer to make. And who knows perhaps Anna Grigoryevna robbed humanity being so much loving and helping him out with roulette addiction, epilepsy and stuff. 

If, if, if. The thing is I refuse to believe that the power which runs the world and moves humanity is constant suffering. Somberness is not the normal condition of mankind and even sublimation in this context looks more attractive for me.

I believe “in the little bit of my young years of tasting fruits of fear in the depths of my own sorrows//love is all I need to give although it clearly hasn’t been dear to me”. See here comes that sentimental “han” stuff again.

Oh wow I even got 15 followers here. Need a few megabytes to give vent to all those near-sorrow emotions I’ve spent the past 3 years repressing (seriously, just 2 days without 5-HTP now bring me quite real physical pain). Like idk time to discover my real (or honest?) gloomy self which has no more will power to fake optimism and other socially acceptable character traits or what do all those whiny teenage girls say in such cases (I really don’t know if my another self was fake or this one is real, how many selfs I do actually have and if I even exist, so time to send the geek needle all the way into Descart-ish cognitive stuff or even “Les Miserables” - see it’s so easy to talk about pretty much everything except my own issues so ya I think I need this profile to stay  focused on my own self-diagnosed depression. ‘Cause in the end, isn’t it what tumblr is made for?)

At the Tower of London red ceramic poppies are being planted to represent every killed soldier in the British Empire. Artist Paul Cummins was inspired by the battlefield accounts of an unknown soldier who died in Flanders. Every poppy is being handmade by team of at least 35 people and each takes around three days to create All flowers are to be sold off. This will raise millions to be split between six charities with links to Armed Forces. (Source & More Information)
