Who knows where inspiration comes from. Perhaps it arises from desperation. Perhaps it comes from the flukes of the universe, the kindness of the muses.

Do you really need to be sad and melodramatically in pain to
pen down lines that reflect your soul? My question is I have never seen a
writer, of the past century the least, to be really happy with their life,
enjoying success and writing wonderful sonnets!
Keats died young,
Tennyson best friend died a sudden tragic death,
Yeats was obsessed with a women who never reciprocated his
love
Vladimir Nabokov’s father was assassinated ,
Lets not talk about Leo Tolstoy
Ranbhir kapoor in Rockstar is told he needs to loose in love
to really rise as a star! Viola that’s the formula! It’s pathetic and to a
great extent true, perhaps for the craft of writing!
Elizabeth Gilbert on a TED event asserted how dangerous this
phenomenon of being completely deteriorated from inside , only then you could
be a real artist is!
No doubt pain is a crucial factor, it hauls us to speak,
express in a never before way. But its not the only factor! All these poets and authors mentioned might have their huge set of problems, their tragic stories forced them to write, yet in their own way each of these loved the 'artmenship'. May be their writing saved them from going crazy!
Inspiration comes from within, from passion to let go off everything
and still hold yourself tight. No one in this world has to suffer to realize
their huge dreams, sometimes a quiet introspection , wishful training, self
motivation are just the required contents of a great work!
so the next time i might wake up to lack of inspiration, i'll surf through all my memories, happy or sad, remembering how i stood by myself!

deception or darkness may take u to the light
