Amy Winehouse. Gone. So Sad. As an Artist myself, I understand and deeply comprehend the emotions she must have felt over the years. She so often mentioned in the interviews I’ve seen over the last few days, she suffered not only from relationship heartbreak but suffered deeply from Artist’s insecurity.
Artist’s Insecurity is all about not feeling great about yourself on the inside even though a lot of people think you are Fabulous! It’s the ‘I’m not good enough’ train of thought. Many artists never admit it but I think this can be the very beginning of the end.
If you are dealing with this at the moment I highly recommend you read ‘The Artist’s Way’ by Julia Cameron and Mark Bryan. It’s been like a bible to me over the years. Artists and people from all walks of like often live in ‘another world’ in their heads and need to get grounded, to be able to just sit with themselves, be alone and feel happy and content without filling the void with an addiction. It is a majorly cool thing to learn to be calm and content within. And believe me you can learn it - a truth I know and have worked through myself.
So Amy - R.I.P - you left the world wonderful recordings and maybe your death will not be in vain? I hope Artist’s all around the world can look at themselves and ask the question: Am I going down a similar road as Amy?
On one quite ironic level, this could just be the Greatest gift she has left us all.
