"I don’t want to be dismissive of others but it becomes clear as you gain experience that, while many people in life are embarked on lifelong journey of personal growth, others are quite happy to stick at the maturity of about the age of 22." *sight* I have been thinking the same; something a good friend of mine often says is that I experience everything so much more intensely, whether good or bad, that it is futile to expect to communicate my human experience with everyone. I think you are similar. Some people are just more sensitive and more melancholic and presumably is what drives us to write. But there are benefits to the capacity to feel great, lingering sadness. It signifies the capacity also to feel great, ecstatic joy. I cry often, but I also feel like I am high on drugs on nothing more than coffee and a good breakfast.
