ALouie Thanks for this reply. It is helpful to hear that negative reactions can happen to anybody. I often have to be reminded that I am not SO special.

I mean, physically. Is your home, office, garage, shed organized? How do you maintain it? I am so unorganized. Every so often I go through and organize, I implement a new system or try something different. I always tell myself...

What I experience hurts. What I experience is painted as weird. What I experience is often ignored by others who keep telling me that I am like them and that I just need to try harder. They don't get it anymore than I get what it...

ALouie I totally agree that art should be for art itself, unfortunately, i am having a hard time applying my belief. I think when I really am able to make art for art itself is when my art will finally be successful. Thank You.

ALouie Yes, this is the response I would like to work on. It seems like the most functional thing to do. One meal and if you don't like something...make a sandwich. The hardest part though will be listening to the whining.
