Description


This challenge is depressing but I think it could be helpful so I'm going to give it a go.

No One Is Listening- You got lost in the shuffle and you know it. You are over-looked by many, especially those whom you desperately need. The only way to be heard is screaming and crying out, right? But you've tried that and it doesn't work. You are only scolded for your actions which leads to more screaming and more acting out. Eventually you realize that you're acting out more against yourself than anyone else because of your own self-loathing.
No one is listening. You cannot force them to hear you. You can hear yourself and you can listen to what you have to say. Try to calm down and listen to what you're trying to tell yourself; be in tune with your thoughts and feelings. If you can develop a friendship with yourself, the screaming stops and people start to hear you. Best of all, you have a friend for life and you're never alone.

A Great Big World - I know you feel trapped. You feel like the world begins and ends in your hometown because this is the only place you've ever known. You know that something more is out there and you crave it intensely.
Listen up, sweetie: you are going to see more of the world than you ever dreamed you would. You'll even get to live in a foreign country, in a culture so different than your own that it seems almost like another world and have so many new opportunities.
Take heart; you aren't going to spend your whole life and die in that messy bedroom of yours.

Don't Stop - You know the myriad of dreams and fantasies you have? And you know how people give you a hard time because you spend most of your time with your head up in the clouds? Well, don't stop. Those daydreams and fantasies give you hope to move forward. Don't let anyone take them away from you.

Let It Go - You fight with all of your might to gain your father's love and approval, which is completely understandable and natural. You work and work and work at it but to no avail.

Save yourself the time and the pain. The man who fathered you is not capable of loving in the same way as other human beings. He isn't worthy of your time and affection. So, save your precious time and your already-frail emotions for something that does deserve your attention.

Let it go.

Be Brave - You're going to make it through this horrible time in your life. You are going to find someone who really loves you. You are going to have a wonderful family. But you have to stand strong and be brave. Don't cower in the corner any more. Stand up for yourself and look to yourself for strength. Hold on to me and I'll help you.

*hugs* I'm really glad you like it. This is one of the palettes I've worked hardest on. It means a great deal to me.

I'm so sorry I've missed all this! I've been away and haven't the opportunity to be online that much so it'll take some time before I could catch up with CL...

Heather, I just feel like giving you, and the young you, a great big hug right now! I am so touched by the things you've shared, and could only admire the magnitude of the inner strength it must have taken to have weathered all the things you've been through. You came out smelling like roses, baby, despite all the bad things that could have rendered other lesser souls to despair. A great palette, with equally great words to impart and share. I am so honored to know you!

My favorite part of your advice is the tile of the palette and the final part of your essay: Hold on to me and I'll help you.
I know for me, knowing that someone was on my side made it possible to keep fighting when I really wanted to give up. Somethings can't be made better, but can be made bareable and endured. Ack! Now I'm all weepy!

Wonderful advice (for just about everyone) Heather – you've got your head on straight, and that's really something to be proud of. Thanks for sharing this. ♥♥♥

Beautiful story, beautiful thoughts, beautiful woman, beautiful palette.

OrigamiMei

I want to give each and every one of you a giant hug, for real.
Why isn't teleporting a thing yet? -_-

*tingles all over* Thank you for this insight into you!! I totally understand that all a child wants in life is to be loved. Growing up and coming to the realization that it might not ever happen in the way you want it to from the ones you want it to is a tough thing. But the wonderful thing is that now you can focus on those who DO love you, and you can make sure your own child will never feel that way. ♥♥♥

Oh Mei, this is so heartbreakingly beautiful, the colour equivalent of giving your younger self a great big hug:)
