Six Word Story #199

Six Word Story:

Flowers forever blooming in my mind

Six Word Story

About The Six Word Story:

So, what prompted this story? Well, as most great stories are originated, I was in the bathroom… I’m just keeping it real y’all. I come up with some really good stuff in there. And I can’t help it. Inspiration can strike anywhere and these days the loo seems like a popular place for this. Not sure why. That’s my therapists problem.

Anyway, back to this story. This weeks six word story is inspired by my mind that continues to overwork itself even though I specifically ask it not to. I’m sure many other writers have this problem, but it seems my brain does not know how to shut up. It is constantly thinking of one thing or another. And when I’m not thinking I’m still technically thinking because I’m daydreaming. I love my brain but it really is a gift and a curse. And even with all that thinking it decides to shut off the minute I sit down to write a blog post or work on one of my books. It’s just so exasperating. But I love my brain and wouldn’t trade it for the world. Would for a burger though.

Do you ever experience this? Experience issues with your mind never shutting up I mean, not experience coming up with random blog post ideas in the bathroom. Do let me know in the comments below and don’t forget to leave your own six word story too! Or simply stop by and say hi!

    Oh absolutely! Every single second of my day, I am either thinking of something or the other. I think the only time when the mind is at rest is when I am sleeping lol

    Not that I didn’t like others 😅

    It’s interesting and very true 😁

    Sometimes yes, I want to stop my mind to think. It overthink and it hurts me. Like I remember I used to think a lot for some person( maybe some extra care) and it annoyed them. They never understand it’s importance and I got taken for granted 😂.

    I think washroom is a place where we are at peace 🤭

    This is the problem with the brain. It keeps on thinking even when we want it to be at rest with itself. But…nay..it never stops. Sometimes, it becomes problematic and we begin to feel drained out. And when we want it to work, it stops then to our disappointment. And we cannot help.
    So, a mind brimming with ideas can both be a blessing and a bane, depending upon the situation.

    Me too. I think all the time and often my thoughts are on trivial things, just to get things done during the day. My issue with my mind is that often it doesn’t want to do what needs to be done, especially when writing is concerned. It has no problem with routine stuff, but when it comes to writing, it has a strange eccentricity, which doesn’t care about needs, deadline, expediency, or other usual concerns. It can be excited about something for no reason, and can be eerily unexcited when I order it to be excited.

    I have a blank wall in front of my bed. And I have deliberately kept the wall blank. Whenever I am stuck about a choreography idea, I simply stare at the wall. It’s a bit creepy but for me the wall is like an empty canvas or an empty stage where I try to visualise how my choreography will look like on stage.

    Hi! Yes, inspiration can come anytime, anywhere… including the loo, LOL! I don’t mind it, as I think inspiration is such a great thing I have to just “go with it” (LOL). Inspiration can be slightly annoying if I’m out on the highway riding my bike, as I have to stop there and then to make notes or else lose the idea (and then wonder what all the drivers think as they see this cyclist on the side of the road on his phone!). A fun post, thanks for sharing it! (PS: I stopped getting notifications so am catching up with your posts this morning. 🧐)

    Finding inspiration in the loo cracked me up, Pooja! When I’m sleeping is when I wish I could turn off my mind. Even if I’m tired, the minute my head meets the pillow, thoughts start twirling and whirling. 🙂 But our brains are necessary, so hang in there, and don’t forget deep breathing.
