troubled souls

That was my instinct. I felt that there were people who could successfully negotiate the real world and at the same time be artists. And there were some people who had a lot of difficulty with normal life. There were a lot of people, whose poetry I was aware of, who were not capable of doing anything else but be an artist. They led difficult, sad lives. I was very much afraid that I was one of those people. It turned out to be true. It wasn't a choice. It felt inevitable to me...

─ Franz Wright

─ ─ 難。難在successfully negotiate the real world 呀，到功多藝熟時，怕又迷失了本性。
