    This was a first for me.

    I was driving down the street today on my way to do some errand, and I realized that my mind was empty. As in, I wasn't thinking about anything. At all. Maybe that sounds weird, but I've known nothing but a cacaphony up there for decades. And now... silence. No worrying. No self-analysis. Nothing. I almost wanted to find something to fret about to fill the silence, but I'm trying not to.

    This is an interesting experience...

    I have had that... It feel amazing... But afterwards I felt really bad... I realized how it must be feeling for a normal human being, to be able to use its full mind potential to focus and work on something... I realized that if I didn't have that stupid burden I would have learnt couple of languages, or read more books, watched more movies, had more friends...

    Still I look forward to this feeling whenever it decides to hit me.

    That sounds like a nice experience. Silence in the head is so calming. I have heavy traffic up there all the time haha.

    I have that same anxiety most days. If you figure out a way to deal with it, please tell me how.
