This image reflects what I’ve been going through of late
I feel I really need a brand new year to start fresh…and leave the dead corpses that were my –mistakes and heartache- in the past
:) … I have found I’ve been holding onto so much guilt, stress, paranoia and regret
These feelings have cut me up like knives and I couldn’t let them go… they just got to me. I’ve locked them up inside somewhere…and it’s been almost impossible to ignore them or forget them.

I just want to unlock that cage…and let all these bad feelings escape me
I don’t have to be sorry to anyone or anything for how I have behaved in the past this year ..But I feel I have yet to forgive MYSELF …and make myself let these go…
I need to respect and love myself… which I don’t.
I’m a good liar to myself… and ill tell myself that I don’t feel guilty or that I do respect myself… but I think that’s all far from the truth.

This year I just felt that everything bad or regrettable I’ve done to myself or others has come back and landed on me… I have had to sit down and really look over myself… really look at things I wouldn’t normally look at…and try and find the good me inside. It’s not the best of feelings…
***But with the new year rolling in… I’ve come to the decision that I’m going to let all these bad feelings go… forgive and forget for the last time
I’m tired of beating myself up over things that were so long ago now.

And that’s what this image is about!
Call it a new resolution if you may… but it’s the path I’m going down!

all the little bits and pieces of this image really do have special purpose. She is unlocking a cage within herself… releasing her –demons- maybe… just bad thoughts and feelings
