my brain picks the shower to solve problems that don't exist yet
started noticing that my most intense thinking happens when i literally cannot do anything about it. hot water running, no phone, nowhere to go, and suddenly my brain decides it's the perfect time to replay a conversation from four years ago, question a career decision i already made, and somehow end up wondering whether i've been a good person overall.
it's not anxiety exactly. more like my brain found the one room where i can't escape it and decided to hold daily meetings there without my consent.
the weird part is some of my actually useful ideas come from the same place. like the spiral starts somewhere useless and ends up somewhere genuinely interesting. can't tell if that's healthy processing or just chaos with good pr. anyone else feel like the shower is less a place to get clean and more a place your brain takes you hostage?
