Journal Prompt: Cry Me a River
I have fallen behind in my posts for this project because I have had some trouble connecting with the themes. For this post, I am not a crier. With the benefit of age and experience, I have seen loss, but I can see every experience has been a learning opportunity. My email tag is a quotation from Nietzsche..."That which does not kill us makes us stronger" Although I can be a "negative Nellie" seeing the pitfalls in pathways, but I also tend to look for the positive spin in the bad situations. Got this journal entry I looked for quotations to fit and found "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened". That's the Pollyanna view. For the other page, I chose words to the effect that crying is ok, but you still have to take charge and make your choices. I searched for images of women crying and found the snippet about melodrama and the vintage ads. Here is my result...
My steps involved swiping colors over the page with a credit card, adding texture paste which I could write into, collaging my images.
