How do I know I’m on the right path?

Fate creates paths, but do you really get a choice which one you take, much like asking if there is a god. I can't give you an answer.

Certain paths, fate or otherwise, can only be taken if you break free of your anchor. The choice ultimately is yours. Do you leave the salt in the fridge or dare you take it out.

Do you need to be hurt or mentally ill to be a great artist?



Good one, that.

Asked my English teacher ar school once, if there were any great writers who weren't alcoholics or lunatics, and he said the evidence seems to be that Shakespeare was neither of those things. So, that shut me up.

On the other hand;

Keats, Shelley, Coleridge - opium addicts
Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Raymond Carver, - alcoholics
Kurt Vonnegut, JD Salinger, Virginia Woolf - depressives

Quite a few people don't even think Shakespeare was a real person tbf

So apparently he can be whatever you imagine him to be

He's the bloke that wrote the plays mate. Quite a few plays as it goes. Probably the most important figure in the history of English literature, in fact. Definitely existed, the plays didn't write themselves.

Ye can read Shakespeare but misread my post ffs
 
That's cos he's a better writer than you mate. Despite being written 400 years ago in a version of English that takes some getting used to, his plays make more sense than your posts, generally.

Thats not very nice, n i thought you was nice
