more insomnia

this time because of a loud party in my courtyard (and paper thin doors).

so, tonight's post is a list of things that I used to hate as a kid, but now appreciate to a much fuller extent:

1 - olives. An English family favorite...

2 - art museums. The Tate Modern, The Met, The Uffizi...used to hate them, now love them. The quiet massiveness of their spaces calms me and allows me to think very clearly.

3 - public parks. They just always bored me...but now I enjoy the calmness.

4 - dark chocolate. Pretty obvious...
