I have ruined many pieces of art overworking them, because I could not let go, I wanted it to look, feel and be different than it was.
So many times in my life, I could not let go of the way I think life, love, friends, siblings and relationships should fit into my life. Mashing, coloring and reconfiguring them into something I could relate to while ignoring the truth of our situations.
Finally, I am beginning to see the harm I cause myself when I cannot let go of my own distorted views of reality. I work too hard to make parts of life fit into what I think they should be rather than seeing and accepting them for what they truly are. I cannot force others to see and share what is in my heart, or to honor what I see as important in my life.
The time has come to honor and acknowledge the wonderful experiences I have had, be grateful that I had them, then let go and move forward.
They can and will be wonderful memories that will live forever in my heart, but not in my life.
