23 MORE THAN WORDS

If only there were a word to describe the reason that drives me to write, to create. It would definitely be to accompany. Some may ask: How are you going to accompany someone? Everything you write is terribly painful, sad. You incite depression and spiritual malaise.

I am aware that countless people experience very deep pain. They feel drowned in their own sadness, unable to express in words their suffering... describe the way the discomfort eats away at their insides. I feel that this is the moment where I, and many other artists, enter. It is a huge relief for the soul of a suffering person to read or see something that makes them feel they are not alone in their process. To recognize in others their own affliction.
