Think about this as hard as you can and hopefully it will hurt your brain like it hurts mine. Do you actually hear them as words in your head? Or are you just thinking of how the word would sound if it were voiced. But if it doesn't have a voice, how are you "hearing" it or thinking of it in your head? How do you form words with no sound? And how does your brain even come up with something like that? A lump of juicy, nasty membranes and nerves that supposedly controls your whole body. How does that chunk of slimy stuff decide which way you look before crossing the street, let alone having a private, conscious thought?
We are miracles. I don't understand it at all, but we just are.
How is someone supposed to remember the last conscious thought before they went to bed the previous night? It's actually really hard for me to remember that. I tried super hard last night to pay attention to my thoughts, so I could remember the last one, but the harder I tried to focus on my thoughts, the wider awake I found myself. Sleeping is about letting your body slip into unconsciousness. You have to let every thought, feeling, and sense of awareness die momentarily. (How do our brains do that???)
I think some of my last thoughts are along the lines of things I have to do the next day, what time I have to wake up in the morning, how I need to change my life around, etc. It's never anything romantic, so sorry to disappoint if that's what you wanted to hear...
Enjoy thinking about thoughts, friends. I'm off to the land where things come and go, where they come back never looking like how they went. (AKA the Pack and Ship)
P.S. I just saw Frozen today, and I'm obsessed with Elsa. And Anna's voice. and Kristoff's hunky charm.
