Blank Space, Maybe?

When you think of nothing, what pops into your head? What is the first place your mind wanders to? Even if you leave it as blank as possible, sometimes thoughts just pop up. They say you should acknowledge these thoughts and continue to let your mind be as blank as possible.

Let me take a shot at it, let me try, let me leave my mind as god damn blank as possible. The question is, is that even possible?

Of course, anything is possible. That is what they say, but does it not take practice? Does it not take the will to sit and let your mind be blank every single day until you get used to just not thinking about anything? Sure. Practice makes perfect.

Even when I close my eyes, I still see it. A tiny little flame is flickering. Or was it a wandering cloud? A soft and intricate snowflake? A beast of a dragon rearing its head and roaring into the night? I’m getting ahead of myself, way ahead.

How did I even get here? What was my thought process behind this whole endeavour? No one knows, not even me. I wonder if I understand the things I sometimes do. I know I have a fair amount of self-awareness, but how much? Sometimes I feel so happy, euphoric, and out of this world. Other times? A tad lost. I don’t stress about that too much, though. The positivity always shines through. Everything will be okay! I chant this mantra to myself without even realising it.
