Cathartic indeed! My works written in angst, whatever the source, are always better than those written about passing thoughts. The lighter ones are worthy, but have far less impact on both myself and others.
As for it being easier never to love and avoid pain - it doesn't work.
It only subtitutes pain of emptiness and deprivation for the pain of loss.
To emulate my favorite poet, Dorothy Parker "you might as well live." In this case, love.
