That is certainly the case with me. The pieces that I am working on now are very painful for me to create. They require me to probe into aspects of my personality and being that I do not like. It takes a lot out of me, emotionally- I often cry when I do them. But at the same time I feel compelled to finish. They are my attempt to express my inner conflicts and explore what it means to be mentally ill in this society.
That will never hold up in court...
