Okay I know I know I know, I've already blogged today, but OMG, I just saw this picture on fb and I was just capatured by it! I would honestly like to know what you all think of this image, I read soooo many different interpretations and they all were wonderful. It's amazing how you can look at the same image and get something totally different from it. You know like you see a glass with only half of the water in there and some say it's a picture of a glass "half empty" or "half full" , just depends on how you see it for yourself.
Well of course I had to dig deep into my own personal life and personal situations and this is what I see. She has the Key that would free him and allow him to save her, however the Key is the Key to her heart and unfortunately she doesn't trust him with it anymore. She is afraid that if she gives him the key, he will either free himself and run to everything and everybody else or he will free himself, save her but drag her through everything he's already done before. She is being weighed down by all the hurt she has endured from him and the other past relationships. The water is all the memories, fears and pain that is clouding her head, she's drowning in her own thoughts and fears. He is being held by himself, his temptations and lifestlye that he doesn't want to let go of , but knows that he needs . He wants the key to her heart just one last time to free himself from it, save her and show her that he is willing to let go of that lifestyle and run away from the temptations in order to be able to show her that she can trust him again.
My Goodness, that was even deep for me! What do you guys see!

ReplyDeletesince she has the key, why not let go, and free herself! See he's on top of the water, but simply chained to a tree. He can survive even if he doesn't get the key, he just won't be comfortable! But if she gives him the key, then she gives him power over her, and is at his complete mercy!
she'll have to hold her breath for a minute, and she's taking a chance/risk that the key might not be the right key for her lock; however, she's taking control of her situation, stepping out on her faith, and not letting anyone else dictate or have power over her.
This boils back down to your blog post from yesterday...FEAR, our greatest enemy!!!
Although you may not see the key hole on her shackle, there has to be a hinge or something that if she focuses and puts in the work, she'll be able to open! But she has to be willing to let go in order to find out what she's made of and what she can do!
Also note, regardless of his outstretched hand, she's still under the water and unable to breath. So giving him the key does what for her again????
