"What Would Happen If I Let Go"

Do you ever feel like you're holding on too tightly for no reason?
Do you sometimes feel like you're pushing past perseverance into pure struggle?
I know I do!
This painting is a reflection of the realization that letting go might just be the answer.

The Story Behind the Artwork:
What would become of me if I stopped worrying,
If I finally allowed myself to rest and just let go?
What am I afraid of? Why am I afraid?
There’s something inside me that refuses to release its grip.
I can feel myself clinging to false beliefs, denying myself this gift — this freedom.
Letting go reaches out its hand to me, bows before me, yet I am terrified.
What would happen if I let go and finally surrendered?
Would I finally taste life and all its colors?
Maybe I’d learn to trust, to open my heart?
I want to live — truly live!
