Elise (II)
A 'Close to my heart' diptych, part two.
Elise (see part one of this diptych) learned to cope with life and became a strong, caring, independent person. But deep inside this powerhouse of a woman there's a vulnerable little girl, that sometimes becomes sad and weary, and longs to be picked up and comforted. She is learning to fully accept and embrace that part of her self, too.
Your body can be both beautiful and a bit 'broken'. Your mind can be both independent and in need of some tender loving care.
Learning to accept and embrace that, is part of learning to hold yourself close to your heart.
