There comes a time to let go of what has hurt you. And hold people accountable for their part in that hurt. Resetting boundaries means saying what you have to and letting go.
To late, a time to let go.
There comes a day in time where it is too late. It is too late to express sorrow or remorse. Words and actions are responsibilities. No matter what motivation or belief system behind those words and actions. That excuses are self-justifying acts, reasons____purpose. To back the wrong horse is a terrible injustice. Opps? That’s stupidity! Selfishness when someone is in trouble, too much for you? Turning someone away when they need you is not love. For family members to do this? Unthinkable. It is not showing love. It’s cowardliness and side-taking. If only side-taking is often intent. You justify and maintain. Not helping a sister, a daughter abused____. Taking away choices, that adversely change lives is in such serious. ways. The experience, nothing you would want for your own daughters, but you all allowed it to stand as if ok. Did not get involved instead embraced the offender. The results? Lives that mattered, had been made less of. A robbery of love, of time, of happiness and joy. Replaced with a life of trying to find answers, to why? You were not there that in a time of need you failed. No matter what everyone involved lives with the outcome. After years, it is time to let go of what has never changed. One thing hasn’t and that is the responsibility, The responsibility of your word and actions, a lack of them. The role of taking the higher road was forced with no way out. A life of hurt and anger, a daily need to carry on. No one came, no one called, no one thought of me at all. I have peace now, by holding you accountable. And by letting go of what was lost a long time ago. There will never be an answer that matters now. I am not interested in easing your mind. No more higher roads for me. No more guessing. Peace and happiness now.
I live in Southern Maine. I am the owner of Anisette Studios. My website is https://www.anisettestudios.com/ Here you can view and purchase Shibui, sign up for my newsletters, blog, and read articles about Shibui Found Image Art. Patrons get great deals several times a year and special items at times. My site makes it easy to contact me. My primary art form is Shibui Found Image Art. Shibui begins with action art and stems from the imagination. It is like seeing something in the clouds or solving a puzzle. Its creative process has its own rules and requires what I call reverse engineering due to a lack of an understructure and purely out of the imagination. In addition to those who patron me, my target groups are those who use art therapy. I will soon be teaching live. Contact me if you would like to learn live. I use Zoom. I request that although my art, other images, and what I write is now published by me here on WordPress; I do ask you do not to use my artwork, poetry, or the information about Shibui Found Image Art without my permission. I am quite available to make such requests. I wish to share the following: The existentialist philosopher Simone de Beauvoir wrote a book called The Ethics of Ambiguity. In it, she lays out a guiding ethic in response to the philosophy of existentialism. It might be somewhat familiar to you already. She writes, “To will oneself free is also to will others free. This will is not an abstract formula. It points out to each person concrete action to be achieved.”
Best wishes to all! Have good times and keep safe! Pejj
