Walking Away
A Personal Journey
This series of images is a reflection of feelings. A situation that arose because of a willingness to act as ‘The Rescuer’ in a situation that was not of my creating, but that in turn, due to my inability to say no, found me then as ‘The Victim.’
Through the dark times of chaos, there was always the strength to carry on and always chinks of light on the horizon.
And then … a conscious decision to remove myself from the security of the chaos and walk away.

Whatever situation we find ourselves in, however difficult it may be, I believe we are given periods of respite to catch our breath and regain the strength to carry on and see things through.

And before I knew it, or realized what was happening, I was somewhere I did not want to be.

Strong in the Chaos
However difficult the situation was, and whatever chaos surrounded me, I did not believe I was being given something I did not have the strength or ability to deal with.

However difficult and dark the situation was at times, somehow there was a security in what I knew, even if this was an uncomfortable and unbearable place.

 Freedom to Come

Freedom to Come
And when I reached the place where I could be kind to myself and have time to think, there was a relief in knowing that this would not last forever…
There was a light at the end of the tunnel and a freedom to come.

 Looking forward

Looking Forward
I could look forward.
Maybe with fear, maybe with excitement, maybe with a mixture of other emotions, but I could look forward.
There was a way out.

 Letting Go

Letting Go
And then I was in the place where I was able to let go. To put things behind me, forgive where I needed to and come to the realization that I also played my part.
It was time to ‘lighten the load’ and move on.

To look forward to new opportunities and horizons…
Walk Away from the Darkness and leave the past behind.
