MENTAL GIRL IN A MENTAL WORLD

***A preface for readers... this begun as a song but it quickly became something more. And while I did not intend for it to be triggering, I feel as though some aspects might be. There isn't a happy ending to this little narrative because there was no happy ending to what I based these words off of. But while that is the case, I want people to be able to relate to these words because when I felt like this, all I wanted was to relate to someone. It's simple, short and sweet but I hope you enjoy.

I'M HUMAN JUST LIKE YOU & WE'RE ALL LOST IN THOUGHT

Mother Earth by Lourents Oybur

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately; thinking about nothing in particular except for everything in particular and my brain feels a tiny bit mushy. You know, thinking is great. I spend eighty percent of my day with my mouth shut and my mind reeling in a hundred different directions and most of the time I want to do nothing more than that. Our ability as humans to reason and not just act on innate instinct is what distinguishes us from the rest of the animal kingdom. Strength? Any lion could tear us apart. Brains? Most of us have got that in the bag. However, as lucky as we are to have this, I believe that our ability to think-- and think a lot at that-- is one of the greatest downfalls of being human... There I go, thinking something again.
