Changed directions a bit on this one, in any case, I think I will call it finished.

Overlaid with text written by the model.

Just realized that I left out an important piece of this puzzle. For those that are curious what she had to say:

an understanding of one’s worth …probably one of the more important of life’s feats. when the actions of others affect one negatively, it is more about understanding your own perspective and proceeding from there. when “they” say you can’t change anyone, they are stating the truth and this is the underlying meaning of the statement. as difficult as it may be to admit that oneself is at fault, it is ultimately the crucial first step in accepting the truth of a situation. the ball is in YOUR court. if someone is displaying aversive behavior that is affecting you, it is YOUR choice to remain or avoid the situation. therefore, it is your fault if it continues to break you down.

this perspective forces me to think more critically about the relationships i choose to maintain and those that seem to evaporate over time. as soon as someone begins to display a hidden agenda or makes a mistake that they are “sorry” about, the judgement call is is all on you. choosing to stay is taking a risk. and at this point there are certain aspects of my life that i cannot afford to take risks in.

of course there are many other factors. personal history is a favorite of mine, mostly because many relationships resemble those from the past. the weather is also a substantial influence. mostly i just remind myself that i am only in control of well….myself. and it all comes down to that pretty basic conclusion.
