Love Bites: A Jazz Tragedy

While the myth persists that pain enhances creativity and seeking help dulls artistic abilities, some artists indeed turn to illicit substances driven by a desire for heightened experiences. Jazz guitarist Brent Vaartstra aptly notes, “Artists are pleasure seekers […] They want to feel something different, be something different, so that they may get a different result. Creative minds are never satisfied with normality; they always seek stimulation in any way, shape, or form.” Content Warnings: drug use, addiction, domestic abuse Sponsors: Acorns: Head to www.acorns.com/tcfc to sign up for Acorns to start saving and investing for your future today!
