no, i agree, it is interesting. i like to hear about what it's like inside of other peoples' heads, because inside mine is... very, very quiet

i wouldn't say silent, not exactly, because for the most part, my brain refuses to filter things out as unimportant. so most times, i'm aware of the ac behind me, the sound of my body existing — swallowing, breathing, etc — and all sorts of physical things like that. but i don't have much in the way of an inner voice. my thoughts as they exist naturally are mostly feelings, impulses, and colors. there's a lot of things where i could tell you the exact colors i feel from it easier and faster than trying to put them into words.

so, in a situation like that, in a head like mine, any serious writing means that i need to focus all of my attention. some days it comes easier than others, but practice, for me, helps me to keep at a baseline functionality rather than improve my abilities.
