Jen, I've been perusing your gallery and was drawn to the photo. I sure hope you are ok....TFS, I can tell you are a really thoughtful and sweet person...I sure hope you are ok.....
Did you write this ?? I've been to that awful place myself. It's hard to come out of that place & you are SOOO alone. But soon the light shines & it is divine! Great job with this one ... BIG HUGS
Beautiful expression of your feelings!!! Bravo to you for finding the light at the end of a dark, very dark tunnel, may each day shine brighter for you!!
wow, this is fantastic! I'm happy that you found your way out of your darkness, and that you're able to write about it, scrap about it,
and share about it...that takes courage most of us don't have. Hugs to you, girl!
wow - you put a lot of effort into this background - it is pieced together like feelings! I find the photo treatment haunting. My dear I am so glad you are not in the dark place anymore but I know all to well what it is like. Shine!
I love the background...a bit chaotic and it goes well with the photo. I also like the lyrics and journaling in your explanation. I hope you have those on the back or hidden on your layout and I am glad you are doing well now. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations, the clash between the dark side and finding a rainbow can be done once you face the fears. I myself went through a very dark place for months and had a whole book of drawings all in black. They were memories that held fast to me and wouldn't let go until I met the right person to help me. I haven't found my rainbow, but I am working on it one day at a time.
I love how hauntingly beautiful this is!! I haven't been strong enough to bring myself to scrap something this deep and meaningful. Hopefully one day I will. I love it!
I'm so happy you have found your way into the sunlight, that you could shake it off and move forward in a positive direction!!! We all have felt deep sadness in our lives at some point, but Hope, Love, Happiness and Family, Thats your sunshine now!!!!!!!!!!!TFS! Lo is very edgy and artsy!
Regrets collect like old friends Here to relive your darkest moments I can see no way, I can see no way And all of the ghouls come out to play And every demon wants his pound of flesh But I like to keep some things to myself I like to keep my issues drawn It's always darkest before the dawn And I've been a fool and I've been blind I can never leave the past behind I can see no way, I can see no way I'm always dragging that horse around All of his questions, such a mournful sound Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground So I like to keep my issues drawn But it's always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, And I am done with my graceless heart So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart 'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn It's always darkest before the dawn And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back And given half the chance would I take any of it back It's a fine romance but it's left me so undone It's always darkest before the dawn And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat 'Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me Looking for heaven, found the devil in me Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me, yeah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off. Shake it Off -Florence and the Machine
I took this photo of myself about three days before what some would say to be the very lowest point of my life. People always said it was a pretty photo. I, myself, must laugh. All I see is a hollow heart, empty and dark. They say the eyes are the window to the soul....those eyes are as black as the bottomless pit I felt I was in, to fall through them, would have been to fall forever. The song has a happy ending, for as dark as it was, there is a dawn. I would like to think I am in that sunrise now.
