Sometimes you don't even notice how much something did hurt and wasn't good for you until you have let go.

I don't know what it is about this one but out of your other pieces it stands out to me. The colors and everything are great as usual but something about it just feels different to me.
Makes me wonder if she's holding on because she can't let go or because the thorns will hold it there even if she does.

Anni-Frid [2017-07-02 06:13:52 +0000 UTC]

Wonderful art <3 I love the red colour, makes the message stand out even better. Like the girl knows she is in danger, but she just cannot let go of her pretty "baloons", even though they hurt her and will hurt her even more If she does not let them go...

I can relate so much to this! A while ago, when I was doing quite horrible mentally, I realized that my feelings and thoughts were at war - I knew that I did not have to freak out when getting "bad" grades om tests, but my feelings still reacted the way they wanted to. I once found myself crying, but still thinking "why am I crying? I don't understand". Luckily, my feelings have now (thanks to God), learned to harmonize with what I know is true. Β 

But I do have some problems with exercise and eating habits, as I'm (or my stupid feelings are) heavily affected by todays narrow standards of beauty... I have lost some weight and I'm very set on eating healthy, but I suspect that I'm trapped in the evil dungeon of numbers... Numbers saying nothing about me, nothing at all, but I still can't stay away from counting calories and weighing myself several times a day. I am trying to force myself to eat more, and let the fear of gaining weight go away, and I think I'm on the right track. I've never had an eating disorder, but I really don't want to get one either, so I'm happy I manage to turn things around before they go wild. I still want to be beautiful (I don't have the most pretty face, and I look very average in general), but I try to remember that beauty is found within.

"Why do we hold on too long, when we know we should let go?"

Good question. I sometimes wonder why I can't let most things go in my life . . except they don't appear as lovely red balloons, more like images of missed friends and happy times and places from days gone by that will . . and perhaps may never ever . . come back to me.

This ... this is a great example of why I watch your art. Β Very rarely is it not evocative, and it is certainly always thought provoking. Β The style - being soft and making use of light and shading - suits your work quite well.

Thank you for sharing your work. Β It's a pleasure to see.

Always good to see something from you pop up... Oks... I know I often have my pet issues that I rehearse from time to time... and really should not because as I think of it even now, I realize that some of it is in that moral luck category... don't ask what that means altho you may know - ehh blah ... suffice it to say - these at least: being relationally obtuse and paying for it and being immature, doing stupid things and paying for that also... Oh well. So it goes.Β

Its hard to let go of pain other people inflict on you.
Its hard to let go of your own wants and desires.
Its hard to let go of someone that means a lot to you.

Those are just some things I find hard to let go...
...oh ya, also drawing. That's hard to let go of too. XD

I find it hard to let go of the pain, because that pain reminds me of the happiness I had. If I let it go, where'd the happiness go?

Without getting into the meaning of the piece - great colour, you really feel the light/heat of the balloons. Palette seems a bit of a departure for you.

(WARNING VENT COMMENT AHEAD)
I honestly ask myself the same thing with some of my friends--- well, "friends." Even though I can feel their hate for me, I still want to hold on because I don't want to lose the ones I do care about. Which is.. actually, I only really qualify 2 or 3 of the 7 in my group as actual friends, the rest kinda hate me. I don't even know why. Like, they've hated me since the beginning, even though back then it was just a little bit. I did nothing but enter their little group and already one or two had started to hate me. Why? It happens with half or more of the people I meet, and I never understand it.
