Okay, it’s hard for me to sleep. It always has been on this. But it’s been so long I forgot. I read that ” it’s normal to feel hungry late at night due to habitually eating late”. Late night eating only started for me in the last month. I would eat a bowl of cereal with water. I don’t know why. But I cant’ tell if going to bed without solid food has been especially hard for me this time, or if it’s just par for the course. Any way, I am having a hard time sleeping through the night because of this.
Any thoughts?

How I did it: I take time. But the thing I noticed at the person I am harshest on is myself. I also realized the more open I am, the more I gain. Most of my "judgemental statements" were do to thoughtlessness and impulsiveness. I really needed to understand impulsess. I saw a shrink who has been working with a drug that monitors impulses and seizures (i also get seizures). Sometimes they go hand in hand, but that doesn't mean they all do. I s… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Ready to rock my pallet. I did it by finding some subject matter that I felt was beautiful and challenging. i am doing a series of watercolors that are not flowers or landscapes: instead they are about controlling the uncontrollable:fluid water. I am taking on parking lots of famous museums like the getty. these places are haunting and have their own mystique. they are often the first impressions of visitors into their art experience.

I am really trying to understand when i can be less judgmental. I am open and kind in some groups (especially places where I volunteer). But then my close friends and family I must be different. I was told by a couple of my old friends that a few years ago I was open and friendly- but that now i come off as kind of angry. Today i commented how the New Yorker was pedantic compared the NYRB, and an old friend responded “You used to be really positive about stuff. Now i just think you are kind of snide. You are trying to make me do something else by making me feel bad about my choices.” He was right! i don’t know why I am so judgmental with some people who are close to me and completely cool with everyone else. Familiarity breeds contempt? Am I just super insecure? My parents were like this. i am afraid i will just be a mean person when I get too close to someone. How can you change from being harshly critical to someone that has a sense of politeness. how to erase the harshness towards others with out becoming some sort of non thinking zombie? It’s a tough line who is someone analytic.
I have been painting when i can, as a way out of grief. SO for the moment,i paint more emotionally. But i would like to be serious about it. I want to be able to force myself to do it and find the time to do it. when i finish my graduate thesis. i hope to make show.
i was doing a cleanse, and i just didn’t have the energy. but now i do!
