What is emotional health? How does it relate to the health of our tissues, our bodies, our hearts, and our entire lives, and of course, to our Artistic contributions?

I watch social media trends and self help reaching a cruscendo, everyone wanting to be on tip top form, look our best, feel our best all the time, and worry about what this says for authenticity? Do we want unending high vive? That seems pretty boring, inauthentic and uncourageous to me. 

Frida Khalo wrote 'You deserve a lover who wants you disheveled, with everything and all the reasons that wake you up in a haste and the demons that won’t let you sleep. You deserve a lover who makes you feel safe, who can consume this world whole if he walks hand in hand with you; someone who believes that his embraces are a perfect match with your skin.

What this time needs is the courageous authenticity of the artist soul. Not another perfect morning routine, not another perfect passive income scheme or five ways to this and that. What this time needs is genuine authentic soulful human beings with a genuine perspective on things, a perspective that comes from the courage of our feeling being here, in our unique circumstances.
