These are lines that stuck out to me when reading a book called Wild Mind, Living the writers life. By, Natalie Goldberg. (Part 11)
- She had a nervous breakdown because she didn't know who she was. (I can relate & it also feels like, oh that explains it!)
- The artist & the alcoholic have parallel paths. They both go into darkness, but the alcoholic gets stuck there. The artist if she is not also addicted goes into the darkness & is transformed by the experience & comes out much more alive. (I agree with this I have been into that darkness, I am currently finding my way out.)
- The good thing is that the artist can move through experience, learn from it & not be caught by it. (Don' get caught up!)
- Insanity was getting stuck in a thought & not being able to let go. (I've been in insane many times)
- Once you begin a book, no matter how much you hate it you have to finish it. (So true for me as well)
- When would have been perfect time? Never. You can't wait for that you have to go ahead. (There are times that are better than others in my opinion)
- We spend a lot of time holding up white castles of our parents society. These have nothing to do with ourselves or with the truth. Holding them up is a great burdan. They're not real castles n-e-way more like fake plaster castles of the cheap hamburger chain. My parents have already made their lives. This is my life now, I have to live it. If I say the truth and am condemned 4 it, then something is wrong. Yes there are many truths, but I should be free to say mine. We are not encouraged to do that. Our society is in denial, so of course it is hard to say what you see as a writer & not feel crazy. Do Not worry that you should wait until the perfect moment. We have to make a perfect moment, we can't wait around. ( I'm working on telling my story, my truth)
