okay wow… i felt this like in my body. it’s like when your mind doesn’t scream but it never really shuts up either. just noise and motion and flashes of everything at once. i’ve had days like that. where my brain’s like a crowded street and i don’t even know who i am in the traffic. i’ve asked myself the same question. like… what if this is just being alive? what if most of us are carrying this and just don’t talk about it loud enough? thank you for saying it out loud. seriously.

✨ I feel this so deeply. Thank you for putting words to that restless tide so many of us live with but struggle to explain.

Your honesty is powerful - it reminds us we’re not the only ones with an unsettled mind, and that alone lifts a little weight.

If you ever doubt it: your voice here matters.

You matter.

And you’re not alone in the chaos - we’re riding this wave together. 🌊🫶

I hope you know how much your words mean and for you taking the time to read my words.

The vulnerability of being so honest is frightening but also empowering.

The wave is one so many of us are riding silently in our every day lives and I hope my post might inspire people to be more open about their own battles 💕

It sounds like what you are describing is the Buddhist concept of “monkey mind.”

From a neuroscientific perspective, the mind is what the brain does, and thoughts are what the mind does. So there is nothing wrong with you. It’s just a matter of being the person in control of the money—not the other way around.

Have you ever heard the parable about the man on a wild horse passing by a village in the mountain at full speed?
