Out Of My Head

I blew the dust off my mind and peeped inside - what a mess! As usual and of course. What else could it be? People like to 'get out of their heads' (minds) via drink or drugs. I don't blame them; it's not easy being trapped inside all the time with nothing for company but your own sober thoughts and worries. These days I can't escape via drink, being unable to consume that much. I get a headache eating wine gums.

Perhaps making images is my way of getting 'out of it'. Although it involves thinking, the focus is on something external.
