Living life can be stressful in itself, but living a creative life is even more of a challenge to your mental state. Being creative tends to place you in a strange category of individuals from the rest of the regular people. Not that it makes you odd in any sense of the word, but it makes you the target of comments like you are a workaholic or is that all you think about is your projects, or do you ever have time for fun. Because you are deep into being creative, your stress levels are a high pitch 97 % of the time.

Thinking of what next to produce, how much will it cost, where will the funding coming from, or how much time will it take to make a single page if you are an author or the great shot if you are a photographer? Or, if you paint, what will inspire you to create that masterpiece in your mind. For me, so many characters live inside my head, the good, the bad, and the ugly, and those who will feel pain in my stories and those who will find love every lasting and those who will laugh and those who will cry. 

They are in my life every single day, all day long. And they are the topi of conversations 89 % of the time. The stress from your success drives you even harder to make the next project better than the last. Your imagine works in overdrive, creating worlds, places, cities, and people, and don't forget the birds, bugs, and every living creature that must have a voice and a reason to live in your world. Then there are the old days filled
