I Have A Sponge Brain; Do You?
because some of our brains are just different
And different has no positive/negative value — different is just different!
I have recently started calling my brain a sponge brain. Or a warehouse storage facility brain. Here’s why…..
Sponge Brain
I am an incessant reader; always have been. I read almost every word my eyes see — on buses, trains, billboards, bulletin boards, and, of course, books. I can’t help it. Even if I am not aware of reading them, if there are words in my visual field, they enter my brain. I thought about this and decided my brain was like a sponge. It absorbs every word and stores it somewhere in there.
I write [squeeze out?] a lot of those words into stories like this, or into courses, or books — but as soon as I start writing, new words and ideas form and they also need outlets — so I have many documents with started stories. I do a brain dump every morning [I call it mental meandering] by talking into my computer. I hate typing, love dictating, talk fast, and can churn out lots of verbiage with my first 2 cups of coffee. I have lots and lots of words in my computer files…..and in that sponge.
