I need to find a proper place to vent my frustrations and petty anxieties. 
Many people would say 'oh, that's why you're an artist, just go take some pictures'.  And I wish that's how it worked for me.  But I find when I make art out of anger and terrible emotions, it doesn't translate well.  Only when I feel truly INSPIRED!! can I make good art.
I don't know if I can even explain that inspired feeling.  It's that voice in the back of your head that gets overly excited.  It starts as a whisper and builds into a booming voice that just constantly yells DEAR GOD PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN OR YOU WILL EXPLODE.  That's the kind of art I like making the most. 
Lately, that voice has been talking to me about collaborations and fringe culture.  Let's see where this leads.
