We have that need to be more than we are, to have more than we need and it drives us towards our goals.

I know I’m lucky because I found someone who could tolerate my crap, but that doesn’t mean I’m safe from pulling a Wolfe or a Plath someday.

Its a hard balance to stike between the creativity and the pain, but when it works, its wonderful.

A shame you never indulged in the original Star Wars trilogy; You would have loved “The Empire Strikes Back”. The movie “Clerks” has a wonderful homage to it delivered by the lead character Dante who similarly dis-believes in happy endings. Even the original ending of “Clerks” was dark (Dante was gunned down by a thief, and a subsequent customer peers over the counter, sees Dante’s still bleeding body, and, instead of calling for help, reaches over the counter and steals a few packs of cigarettes.
