We're not leafs in the winds of life

"We're not leafs in the randomly changing winds of life"
is dedicated to a fellow artist and dear friend who suffers from familiary self commitment issues and felt guilt to the point of self abandonment
*
She is a talented young artist colleague and dear AS friend who has fallen into a severe acute depression due to her precarious family situation, lost of job and cultural constraints. She therefore urgently needs antidepressants to lighten her mood and further direct help on the spot. However, she has never learned to recognize this, to find it and to accept offers of advices and help as such. She ignores advice if it does not meet her unrealistic expectations of a complete quick solution. She would certainly be helped quickly and reliably with transfering money, sending food or job offers, but it is not possible for me to check the situation described in the chat from a distance in order to respond in the knowledge that help will only be given where it is really needed.

I will continue to support her work on AS, but it seems appropriate to stop offering her unsolicited and unappreciated advice and guidance. I wish her the best of luck on all her paths and in everything she does. I hope she will never forget that she is the architect of her own destiny and not a will-less leaf at the mercy of the randomly changing winds of life or the selfish interests of others. Surrender is not an option. She is young, pretty, smart and talented and can make something of her life, but not in the way she has done so far, where she has allowed herself to be ruthlessly exploited emotionally physically and financially by people out of excessive gratitude and self-absorption who do not appreciate her enormous and objectively unnecessary sacrifice.
