You must dare to disassociate yourself from those who would delay your journey... Leave, depart, if not physically, then mentally. Go your own way, quietly, undramatically, and venture toward trueness at last. ~Vernon Howard
The hard part is to have cared for those who are delaying your journey then to leave them quietly, or of they've caused you pain, to leave undramatically..... but going on to the truth is far better no matter what. Greta quote and beautiful creatures in your photo.
I think the hard part is when the people who are delaying you try to hang on, then accuse, criticise and abuse whrn you won't change your mind. Harder still if it's a member of your family ... but I agree. Trueness to oneself and one's ideals must take precedent.
I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use - silence, exile, and cunning.
