Fed Minds and Empty Rooms
To step into the abyss,
to find some kind of relief.

Days are gone figuring out. I have let go of dopamine maxxing. Getting from one activity to another. Putting on some music in case there is nothing to do. Watching movies while working.
I have led a lie my whole life of being a multitasker, to the extent of having things being played during video games.
I missed the lonesome.
I vividly remember whenever I had to go out, the silence would kill me. To sit with the thoughts that I forced down.
The sudden shift is unknown, but could be linked to a passage I read in a book. It moved along the lines of not selecting a topic or thought and writing about it, but to let go of thoughts. Write what comes to mind.
The exact words from the book were:
“He feels obligated to go on talking about Autumn Rain, because that, he
feels, is the subject. Well, it isn’t the subject. You don’t know what the
subject is.”
The Triggering Town by Richard Hugo.
In doing so, I liked being with my thoughts. I was getting rid of them for no reason at all. Instead of bloating, I liked them. The instant rush, much like the romanticized concepts of writing.
The mind that was creative, but forced to constraints.
Forced to be fed.
This is much raw in my mind. What do you think about it?
Fellow writers.
Hello and welcome to the Dream Steem Community! I'm glad you accepted my invitation.
Just as you describe, I started writing – sorting out my thoughts, sorting myself out. That didn't make me a writer, but it did help me to reflect in a helpful and structured way. Later, the ‘lyrical element’ was added, along with the desire to write beautifully and in a way that others would enjoy reading...
You are welcome to share the fragments of your everyday mental life ;-))
As for your topic – for me personally, multitasking is the root of all evil. I like to do things in a very concentrated and focused way, as any further distraction would be a fatal source of error. I can only ever work on one thing at a time, but then I am both quick and thorough, achieving much more than if I were trying to do too many things at once...

The ‘lyrical element’ , I am struggling with a lot. I read books, but they influence me.
Just writing everyday, surely I'll get there.
You are too kind and supportive. Thank you for commenting and helping me.
