i just cant get over the votes under 5 ..
was looking for something else and came on this again .. noticed those low votes ..
some ppl cant seem to see something awesome when its staring them in the face .. so harsh and unforgiving .. looking for the negatives and missing all the wonderful positives .. would feel sorry for them if i knew who they were . !! .. ;)

Over it All
by Lydia

Comment:
i totally get it .. !! ..
maybe not in the exact way you intended ..
but as with lots of more creative, abstract and surreal images .. different ppl interpret them differently ..
i've been 'over it all' .. so many times in my life .. sometimes the situation can be devastating other times the situation may seem quite minor ..

removing the head .. INSPIRED .. !! .. the feeling of being over it all could be totally removed along with the head ..

the head = brain .. our brain is a great tool .. but sometimes it can be like an enemy as well ..
here's one of my favourite sayings .. 'dont believe everything you think' ..
when we do believe everything we think it is quite easy to get over it all .. our thoughts can take us in some rather unpleasant directions .. and thats because we get so attached to those thoughts .. get caught up in them .. they become reality .. its often not that difficult to re-direct those thoughts .. to more pleasant and uplifting directions .. but you can change your reality .. takes some practice ..
anyway . i'm on a roll here .. lol ..

had surgery a couple of days ago .. to remove metal in my arm .. i'm on quite strong pain killers .. i'm feeling pretty good .. so i'm not over it all at all right now .. in fact quite the opposite ..
i feel the pain killers are responsible for my ramblings above .. and that's my story .. !! .. ;)
