"Why"

This was a drawing I drew about 6 years ago. I feel it portrays the feelings of being stuck, of feeling trapped, having so much pain and no way to escape it. The only thing you can do is accept it. Embrace it. Explore it and find out why it's there. And through this process, it will go away.

This drawing has a lot of meaning for me. A great deal of symbolism. The ghost in the door, reaching its hand out, reaching through so many doors of life, so many chapters you will live through. No matter how fast you run, the events of your past that you try to forget and run from, will catch up to you. Are you ready?

In life we often find ways to hide and distance ourselves from hard memories and tramatic experiences. This will help us with the short term to find stability in our current situation, but if we never accept what happened and allow ourselves to move on, we will always carry a part of the memory, a feeling from the experience, that will only get harder to shed later in life.
