"Can't stop. Won't Stop. -my brain.

It runs like a motor

It never actually stops/

"What could you possibly be thinking about?" they wonder

I wonder how they could possibly stop.

It's not always significant, or of any substance at all.

I just wish I could think of nothing at all.

It is not even productive.

I think about what life means

I think about the purpose of emotions.

I put myself in the shoes of people I love.

I think about the oil change I need to get.

My dog needs his nails cut.

I really should call my grandpa, I never know how much time he has got.

What would life be like if I were born in another country?

Was my family predetermined?

Is every action I take predetermined?

Did I put the milk away?

I hope that the email I sent this morning did not come off as rude.

I wish I could stop thinking

Why won't my brain shut off?

Should I mediate?

Maybe I should go to yoga class.

Do I even like yoga?

I think I forgot to lock my car.

How many hours of sleep would I get if I fell asleep right now?

Okay, it has been two hours

Why can't I fall asleep

I'm literally trying to sleep

Brain "go to sleep"

Stop thinking

Why doesn’t this thing come with an off switch?
