I would say I like the first image simply because I feel it vibes with the words - I know how it is to feel trapped (within myself) in an unending loop of sorrow and chronic pain (you read me so I think you know what I'm talking about) -

In answer to your qn, writing helps me release emotions...if I have a bad day, I write about it and it softens the edges

Wish you a wonderful 2025, Barbara 💙✨✨
