Just because you are able to tap your creativity does not mean you have dropped your crap. We all have bags of garbage we carry throughout our lives. An artist is no exception. In fact, when an artist has truly found something they love doing, it makes it easier for them to completely absorb themselves in their work as a way to avoid dealing with unresolved emotional issues.
We are all in the same boat when is comes to letting go of our 'bags of burden'.
Life becomes much more fun when you can let go of your drama. Emotional issues take up a great deal of energy. Drop the issues and more of your energy becomes available. You could use that energy towards being more creative.
