Long Time No Blog...Let's Catch Up!😳 How Do Thoughts Work...What Do YOU Think?

Hiii literally-no-one-who-reads-this,

I'm back! I don't even know how long it's been. I guess I could check...

I'm back with some...new interesting theories. Or updates. I have actually changed my mindset about a few of the things I have written previously, so I will have to update those and basically completely change them! That's me, I literally will change my mind and turn it around completely. Sometimes. Sometimes I don't even budge my opinions. But at least I always have an open mind for change.

I'd like to know your opinion about the following. If you're reading this, you could just comment on what you think. That would probably be easiest. Otherwise, you could put a chat in the chatbox "Let's Get To Know Each Other!" or contact me on Instagram.

No one ever talks about how thoughts are supposed to work, and ever since about a year ago, I started questioning how they really are, supposed to work. There's a healthy balance between thinking about something...coming to a conclusion...and then letting go. There's a possible unhealthy balance if you never trust your conclusions and keep "repeating your thoughts."

Have you ever realized that when we say "I think" that is basically totally unnecessary? Even in school essays. It also sounds bad, that's why Grammarly hates it, lol. When we say "I think" it's already a fact in our minds. It's the best of what we know thus far. It's our best idea, our best conclusion. It's not "I think" it's "I already thought about this and this is what I came up with." I could say I think...before everything I'm not sure about. It's what I think is right, but I'm not sure. But since it's what I think is right, I accept it. All we can do is accept things, try our best, and do what we think is right. But "I think" does have an advantage. If you don't say "I think" people will assume you already made up your mind and it can't be changed. Sidenote: my mind CAN be changed. And I DO want insight on my theories. Please challenge them. Or please agree. I don't think I know everything...not even close. I'm just a little human who needs reassurance. This blog is all about discussion and reassurance. I'm not saying it because I think it's 100% forever right. I'm saying it because *I think* it's right, but if I'm wrong, I would genuinely love to know. Because who wants to think wrong for the rest of their lives, you know?

(At the same time, when people say "I think" we basically take it as a fact. Have you noticed that too? E.g.: "Where is Anna?" "I think she's over there" "All right, I'll go check over there").

So...I think that there's no such thing as "double checking" your thoughts. Because a thought doesn't change...instead a new thought comes into your head when you get a new idea or perspective on something. Or someone says something, and you're like "Oh! I didn't think of that!" But the unhealthy balance that I'd like to elaborate on, the unhealthy balance from earlier can be furthered when you think that a thought can maliciously change on you, and you keep repeating this cycle of "double checking." But thoughts don't change. Thoughts come in as new thoughts. Does this make sense? Let me know, or else I can try to explain this theory in a more understandable way if it doesn't make sense.

The reason why I may come across as obsessed with this is because 1) I can't find research on it, 2) I need reassurance that I'm not crazy sometimes, 3) I just think it's not talked about? It's like...we just come into this world and are what, expected to know how to do everything, how to think? Things to me seem a lot harder than "just knowing" and more like..."figuring out together."

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!🥰
