All Up In Your Head 🧠

There’s way too much thinking going on.

We’re all up in our heads and it is pervasive.

Instead of feeling what we feel or doing what we do, we ruminate. 

And then we think about other things and how they affect the things we’re thinking about.

It’s a trick and a trap.

We use our big brain like an atomic ego bomb (Hey look at my frontal fucking cortex).

Or like armor to protect us from how we feel or from putting ourselves out there.

Maybe it’s cultural. Maybe it’s species specific or biological. Whatever.

Anyway, today is a fine day to think less seriously and play more frivolously.

Here’s a young e e cummings who wrote since feeling is first.

Here’s some links related to the stuff I wrote about up there 👆

He was high in intellectualism is such a great lyric by Sheryl Crow

Freud and Intellectualization as a Defense Mechanism (This is a good enough introduction that I recommend you skip and never think about ever again. 😉)
