Breaking the circle is a new series I have been working on. Circle that holds to move beyond has to be broken.  Else, it breaks us. It can be anything,  our fear, pre-conceived notions, inhibitions, age-old orthodox traditions, or our suppressed emotions. 

It is disturbing, uncomfortable, and painful to break the circle, but it is similar to staying in the circle, plus the humiliation and lack of self-worth. It is worth breaking the circle because it will lead to something better.

Breaking the previous circle and getting trapped in a new circle and making peace with it, thinking, this hell is better than the previous hell. This can be easily referred to as the recurring toxic relationships and also to the generational transitions.
