It's when the thoughts explode in your brain and you wonder if you are going insane. It doesn't matter who you are or what you may be experiencing, we all have thoughts and ideas which make us stop and think we might need a little therapy. We're all slightly odd and existentially fractured, but that's the beauty of it all. Normality is bland.
You might be losing your job and the cascading consequences are tearing through your mind each minute of the day; it could be someone has emotionally hurt you and the thoughts you're having are scaring (and scarring) you; maybe you simply don't know who the hell you are or what your purpose is. Is there something wrong with me?
You might be madly in love - intoxicated with the emotions. You wake and think of that person. Their image is imprinted on your dreams. The sun does actually seem to rise and set with that person.
Whatever you are experiencing, the mind has a powerful effect on it all. We sometimes wish we could remove our brains and replace them, as if we are faulty. You're not faulty, but don't worry, you're not normal either. You're unique.
In those moments of passion, sadness, joy, laughter, anger, bitterness, confusion, serenity and so forth, you're going through the wonder of being human. Some things cross your mind and you'd be horrified if anyone ever found out. You'd fear their judgement and possible repulsion. Remember, they've thought crazy things too.
You'll never be banal or boring; you may do boring and banal things though. Embrace how utterly original you are and strive to make each day worth a damn. You'll fail, because we all do. But use each failed day as a motivator to imprint your uniqueness on the world. God, imagine (to loosely quote) what you could do if the fear of failure never existed?
