All of the intense artistic experiments I did as a child.
In my recent quest to sum up my early 30's position in this world, I started examining the 'bodies of work I have attempted and completed over the years. I am a painter. I thought....
now I have come to view myself as brave, experimental, wildly playful and blown away by the huge artistic projects I devised for fun as a child, as extension of being.....
I was so wrong about the time line of when I first started to create as an artist....I have now asked both of my parents if they understood some of my early 'bodies of work'
They assured me, while they may not have understood them for the reasons I needed to attempt them, they did recognize their existence...
THEY THOUGHT I KNEW WHAT I WAS DOING. My parents never bothered to tell me what they observed. They tell me it was and is just who I am....
Gee the things we find when we ask???

About six months ago, I realized that I am a very unselfish person. I thought long and hard about it and discovered that 95% of the time, I think about the other people around me before I do or say something. I believe, that in today's society, and considering my peer group (age range 15-20), it is one of the most profound qualities I possess.

The day - in my 30s - that I was profiled by a psychologist as being an empath; a person with extremely accurate intuition.
I had always had this particular trait and unconsciously relied on it, but having it confirmed - the fact that I could read people with uncanny accuracy - was a real mind blower.

That I listen! Sometimes I ask questions thinking that I know the answer, but then someone causes me to see something that I didn't see. Then I start to think in away that I didn't think. I think that's profound because lots of ppl can hear but fewer people can listen.

i realized that i let my insecurities (created by me but fueled by others) give me an attitude of cynicism and pessimism, and that i was miserable and only criticized other people because of my being miserable, i kind of made myself feel like a special victim, but really, everyone is insecure to whatever extent
it was ridiculous, and i've changed a lot since then

That I will never have a thought or an idea that someone else has not had, or will ever have. That original thought is original only to the thinker, not mankind. It made me feel less important.

That biologically I am formed by a process that extends back billions of years... that in terms of just plain matter, I am made out of stardust.

That I need to listen to others and not just to myself. Ive learned that by listening to others, Im learning more about them and myself from someone elses point of view. Im really hearing what they have to say about the world.

I really don't like being put in the middle of bullcaca. I really get steamed up, like I should go to anger management classes...
