Brain Glitch

Currently, I am processing things slowly.

My ears and my brain are taking their time, picking things up bit by bit. I am reading something on Substack and it is coming to me one word at a time.

Like hello? I am sorry, dear brain, but that is not how I usually read. Can you go a little faster, please?

It feels strange. Almost like I have been forced to pause. I don’t like pausing because there is no time. I know I don’t have time.

We don’t value what we have until we are about to lose it or until it slips away completely. I think that might be what is happening here.

Maybe I am just tired. Maybe my mind has been carrying too many thoughts at once and decided it needed a break before I even realised it.

This is the first time this has happened to me and honestly, I love it and I don’t.

I don’t like the slowness, the lack of control. But I love what it is showing me. That I cannot rush everything.

That my mind is not a machine. That sometimes, the best thing I can do is slow down and let things come in the way they are meant to.

Maybe this is my brain teaching me to slow down a bit. To think in an orderly way instead of trying to hold everything at once.

Okay, it is getting better now. Maybe that is the lesson. Pause when you need to and your mind will find its rhythm again.
