I did this by painting it digitally, not a manipulation. I used a Wacom tablet and wirelss stylus pen. Memories,often one wants to forget them, sometimes rip up or burn items that remind you of painful, terrible times, or guilt. You may think you can burn away a memory, but it often lingers to pop back at you. Those guilty of harming others will have memories not only to be ashamed of, but ones you cannot release by burning them. Those that were harmed by such painful acts may take comfort in this. I have forgiven those that have harmed me, and moved on. I grew stronger because I faced my fears, dumped the guilt, and focused on the positives in life to appreciate. This one is a personal one. I faced some fears this summer and let them go. It was a huge relief and I am so much stronger and happier because of it. I had advoided someone for years, because of what the abuse they had done to me as a young child. I feel pity for them, and no longer fear them. Life is too short, too beautiful, to dwell on it. I am free... and have not let it take over my life. I'm not burning my memories, I'm getting over them and past them.
