we never write as much when we are in love and if we do write as much, we never write the same way we get so much more boring we could write a sad poem every day and it would be much more interesting than an everything-is-perfect poem happiness has very little substance have you ever noticed that most mainstream music is aggressively depressing? we write when there's something missing or when we feel cold toward the world and want to stick it to the man with a good 'ol ******* a writer in love will only produce a masterpiece if who they love doesn't love them back falling in love with someone that loves you back feels like having everything you need and there becomes no reason to write because there is no need to write most people feel misunderstood when they're sad and people only want to soak themselves in art if it makes them feel understood so, art has got to be sad too, hasn't it?
