Erupted

18 x 20 inches

Sometimes things don’t turn out the way we envision them to.
Our bodies feel hallow but somehow on the brink of outburst.
Our thoughts pacing back and forth.
Self-imploding.
We might not be responsible for the situation we are in, 
but we are always responsible for our reaction.
Taking responsibility is enriching yet scary.
Hard yet motivating.
Embrace it, overcome it.
Fortunately we are responsible for our happiness.
Helplessness is a limit we set ourselves, one we believe, one we apply, one we listen to.
