Any 'artist' makes a living by expressing what others can't - because they're unaware of their feelings, they're too afraid to express those feelings, or they lack the skills to communicate and be understood. ↗

Sometimes I think I'm a one-trick pony because I'm not very inventive about new ways of telling stories. ↗
