Outlet: Art

Collage work, screenwriting, songwriting, and painting are the best outlets ever.
It is so amazing how much better I feel after writing four or five pages of gore, or putting together a collage with words or pictures that express me in some way. Or even writing a few songs. These outlets are part of the reason why I get up every morning looking forward to a new day. I guess they could be considered forms of therapy because they help get people through the day.
The best part about these are that if you are the type of person who can't stand to talk about the stuff that is bothering you, you can just sit down and piece together something that resembles or expresses what you are trying to get out.
Another thing that is really cool about it is that something new and unique comes out of it.
I always wonder why they don't have patients in mental hospitals do some of this stuff, it might actually help them.
