Hey guys!
Long time no write, I know. I have so many ideas some days and write them down or begin to create characters but its so hard to stay motivated. The best piece of advice anyone has ever given me is to write what I feel and try and write about something that has happened to me or that I have experienced either through a friend or first hand. So.. here is my small piece that I wanted to share with you. Just a little something to get the ball rolling again if you know what I mean.

Love Always,
Kare xo.

i feel like i have made a huge mistake
i ended the one thing that made me happy
it feels that way
and i cant fix it
ive lost it forever
i tried saving it but i couldnt
and so i have to let it go
.. just let go of it


the part that i cant get over is
i have no control over it
everyone has always told me that
i always have choices and i can control
anything i do and want- if i really want it


i cant control it.
i cant tell him to feel for me
now my life seems to flow away
my thoughts dwindle..
no control
.. just watch it all disappear


such a long time
.. a lifetime of thought
i dont know what i will do now
everything hurts
and although i still have independance
i dont have what i did with him anymore
its gone and he doesnt want it back
so i guess all there is to do is leave it
...i cant turn back

Oh, Kerrie, that was simply beautiful. So raw.
I almost teared up while reading it. You put so much emotion, so much hurt into this. I won't say, 'well done' because that does not do justice to your honesty, your willingness to share something so private.

You should be proud of yourself; not many people would allow others a glimpse of that dark place within. You did it with such care, too.

Deb said it all! Thanks for that Kerrie!

Kerrie, that was so touching - beyond sad.  It really opened up that empty place we've all been in at some point in our lives.  Thanks so much for sharing that with us.  You're very talented.

Bravo Kerrie on posting your touching piece here (I think I'd still be too chicken to show anything). It's a very beautiful piece

Wow, Kerrie, it's really a beautiful piece, my god, I had tears in my eyes as I read it.... Thanks for sharing it with us. It made me thoughtful, yeah, there are things in life out of our control. Nobody's perfect, we all make mistakes.... and we all have to pay for it... but we all earned our second chance for a new start....I'm sending much love and positive thoughts your way, I'm wishing you well, much strenght in the difficult phase in your life. I wish you to find rest for your soul.
Just visited your website, and I saw your gallery a second time and I have to say, that you are a very talented lady! Portraits to paint, faces, eyes it's not so simple, even so great painters like Leonardo da Vinci to begin his carriere couldn't paint eyes.... And those painted from you are beautiful. Congrats for you talent!

All the best
Luv
Keep Smiling
