"A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To him... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create -- so that
without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating."

Yes. Fortunately and unfortunately.

Not much else to say except, yes-and it effects everything in my life.

Not really. I've always been sensitive and need stimulation and meaning, and creation is very important to me and I am really happy when I create things I am proud of, but I get the sense it's not at all in the way / to the level being described by the words.

I do except for three things:

a joy is an ecstasy - I can't imagine being this happy about something.

a friend is a lover - Trust issues have gotten in the way of me seeing friends in this way.

a lover is a god - And similarly, I think trust issues and me being withdrawn AF are making it near impossible for me to get a lover.
