About

The person who tends to find me is unremarkable from the outside and extremely busy on the inside. They hold down demanding work, answer everyone promptly, and lie awake at two in the morning conducting arguments that will never actually happen. A racing mind is tiring exactly because it feels productive while it is happening. We look at what all that mental activity is trying to accomplish, which is usually the prevention of something, and then we test whether the prevention works. It generally does not, and noticing that is the beginning of turning the volume down. My earlier years were spent in group rooms rather than private ones, which is where I learned that almost nobody thinks their own version is ordinary. Nearly all of them are. If your nights are busier than your days, get in touch. Nights are where most of this actually happens.
