i myself do dabble in the arts and it is a life that i wish not for others. I am repeatedly ripped apart by the desire inside to write, or sketch or mod something and time and time again those needs come before my human needs, the need to be held is secondary to the want to express..It is funny that the things shy away from in life are usually the main focus in my art..SUCH A BUMMER..laugh

Yokoke,
All very good advice, but the missing word is 'passion'.


????

The original questions were:
Any advice for the relationship as in dating??
Any advice for living together with an artist??

I think many brought up passion...

Thanks for the input...:smile:



Passion is an art...devil devil devil :wink: bigsmile

Basic Principles:

1. Creativity is the natural order of life. Life is energy: pure creative energy.

2. There is an underlying, in-dwelling creative force infusing all of life -- including ourselves.

3. When we open ourselves to our creativity, we open ourselves to the creator's creativity within us and our lives.

4. We are, ourselves, creations. And we, in turn, are meant to continue creativity by being creative ourselves.

5. Creativity is God's gift to us. Using our creativity is our gift back to God.

6. The refusal to be creative is self-will and is counter to our true nature.

7. When we open ourselves to exploring our creativity, we open ourselves to God: good orderly direction.

8. As we open our creative channel to the creator, many gentle but powerful changes are to be expected.

9. It is safe to open ourselves up to greater and greater creativity.

10. Our creative dreams and yearnings come from a divine source. As we move toward our dreams, we move toward our divinity.

Only as you do know yourself can your brain serve you as a sharp and efficient tool. Know your failings, passions, and prejudices so you can separate them from what you see. Know also when you actually have thought through to the nature of the thing with which you are dealing and when you are not thinking at all. Bernard Baruch (1870 - 1965)

I Can't.

I said to read between the words.
What 2 words do you see first in the middle?

I Can

Sometimes we get too close and overly focused and taking a step back is needed to see it... just because the "t" is seen by the brain doesn't mean you have to apply it to you....

Good Luck

Yokoke,
All very good advice, but the missing word is 'passion'.

pas·sion /ˈpæʃən/ –noun
1. any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling, as love or hate.
2. strong amorous feeling or desire; love; ardor.
3. strong sexual desire; lust.
4. an instance or experience of strong love or sexual desire.
5. a person toward whom one feels strong love or sexual desire.
6. a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything: a passion for music.
7. the object of such a fondness or desire: Accuracy became a passion with him.
8. an outburst of strong emotion or feeling: He suddenly broke into a passion of bitter words.
9. violent anger.

The lion's share of society use that word in reference to things more basal, but it isnt that at all.
Passion is vitality. Passion is a zest for all things - LIFE. Passion is a firey intensity that only the creative mind can tolerate - they are the ones who know how to interpret true passion in ways the layman is able understand.

They feel everything at a depth that would nearly kill the simple - who cover the concept ignorantly with a blanket called 'crazy'.

Being with someone like that is to be carried along the crest of an ocean wave - while burning from the soul.
Survivable, when understood. The important thing is to remember the space. There must be plenty of space. :)

So your SO has no issues?
No times when your focus has been on your art and not on them?
Is your So mainstream or an artist too?
