Do you honestly believe that I have a normal life?

Oh the creative turmoil can be helpful, but being grounded helps you to do so much more. Otherwise it's just two steps forward and one step back. (Be honest, doesn't that happen when you crash? Or when things become too feverish and hot?)

Further, there are things worth being stable for. Sometimes finding that one person who will love you and never leave your side is worth any amount of glory, fame, prestige or greatness you could possibly hustle. Sooner or later we all need someone to keep us warm at night and make everything worth it. Especially someone like us.

You're high right now. You'll probably snort at all of this, but reflect upon this when you're in that segue mode between the zenith and the nadir, when you're passing through that goldilocks zone of stability, and you'll know the answer.
