    A Painful Image

    This is a close relitive of mine. I will not say who or what she is, but I will say that she has recently let our family way down. I have harbord much anger toward her for some time now, and since I do not have the opportunity to tell her to her face how I feel I have made this image.

    This is how I feel she looks on the inside. This is not a hateful thing that I have done here. I love her very much. This is a product of sadness and dismay.

    I would like to see if any of you have such images of people who have hurt you. I think that would make a very interesting thread. If you do post, I think it would be best to leave out how you are related, either by friend or kinship.

    Here is my pain:

    SERIOUSLY..I am sorry that this person has caused you great pain, but I learned NEARLY TOO LATE that holding on to pain is not good .

    My mother threw me away like yesterday's paper when I was 7(on my MF b-day no less).. ANGER, PAIN, SADNESS, QUESTIONED WHAT I DID....

    DUDE, I love the $h!t out of my mother dispite that day

    My mother is now very ill, and I wish I had moved on way earlier in my life.

    Just my humble opinion on what you may or may not miss by harboring SADNESS, ANGER or an other negative emotion.


    PLEASE!!! I am not trying to turn this thread into ANYTHING.........I am just commenting on my experiences that may pertain to your very dramatic image.

    Here is my pain:
    Hmm, good way to work out emotions, IMO. Better than committing a crime.
    Pain, suffering and art seem to go hand in hand.
    Good for you for doing this.
    I hope a resolution comes to your family soon.
    As for your picture, its effective.

    Thank you villena. As the title and post suggests this is a very painful subject for me. As Paul mentioned before it is not good to get mired down in the pain of it all. Well for me this was an attempt to express openly what I had kept deep inside. It was a very good release.
