You are not your thoughts.

You are only responsible for those thoughts you focus on!

You are not your thoughts. You are your soul. That means, you are not responsible for this ocean of thoughts that floats through you every moment of your life. It rather means, that you are responsible for those thoughts, to which you pay attention. Those, you focus on!

When I woke up tonight, everything was different.

I found myself swimming. And the water was not real water, even though it seemed to me like I needed to move as if I were swimming. I tried to keep my head up. And I felt as if I was one with that watery something. Waves of liquid thoughts swam around me, into me, through me, away from me. I could clearly read, hear, smell, taste, and sense sentences of all kinds (not sure now which sensory organ I used). But they said all kinds of things.

“How will I pay my rent next month?” “Do not forget to buy toilet paper tomorrow.” “Will my friend survive his foot surgery?” “Why do the clouds look so dark today?” “Did I learn enough with my son for his upcoming exams?” “How did the parrot survive the forest burn?” “I am so angry at my brother!” “Do I really need that new dress?” “How come, that I gained weight again, even after those weeks of interval fasting?” “Why can`t I just go back to sleep? I will look awful tomorrow!”
