I think I think too much


I am a thinker. I genuinely love to think.
One idea gets me started and within minutes that one idea has evolved into a mass of new ideas and concepts. Thinking gets me excited. I push myself to think in different and creative ways. It's like a drug to me, I crave it. The search for more knowledge is like a game I am constantly playing and refuse to put down. The more I know the more I know I don't know, it keeps me going. Keeps me thinking and exploring. I think about everything, form opinions and new ideas. It's fun for me. Thinking is something I am passionate about, I have strong opinions and beliefs, I enjoy being interested and understanding things that are not common knowledge.

There is so much to life.

 Everything is changing, constantly moving in one direction or the other.
Sometimes its hard to keep up with it all. Some people don't even bother, they are content with their life as they live it and only involve themselves in the things that directly involve them. They hardly ponder thoughts such as "What if.." or "Why.." they are happy in life without knowing so they never delve deeper into what they don't know. In some ways I don't understand how anyone could live like that, in other ways I envy them. Sometimes I wish my mind had an off button or at least one for auto-pilot, so I could just coast for a time without having to analyze every thought that reaches my conscious. Yet honestly I don't think could never be happy without knowing. My mind is on over drive, it never takes a break. Sometimes I get so consumed by a thought that I can hardly function. I analyze everything, then I over analyze and analyze my over analysts. My train of thought is hardly chugging along a straight and plain track, it barrels down twisting and jagged routes, jumping cars to separate tracks, spinning and reversing, ever-moving. My mind is buzzing like a radiator, not always in the limelight but never the less always there. It's the background music to my life. At times I've tried to tune it out, but as soon as I think it's gone it kicks up again.

My opinions may differ from conventional thinking, but I think that is what makes life so perfect.
