I'll go for it. I usually write in a book journal, but it is packed away somewhere due to moving.
Latley I feel my perception of the world is changing. Not merely in simple terms, like "it's a small world after all" but in a way that involves my senses. This is hard to explain, but I'll do my best... for example, I cut the tip of my thumb at work with a small saw. Of course, I thought "my thumb hurts" but then I had the thought that my THUMB wasn't actually in pain, it was actually my brain sending the pain signal. So, even thought the cut was ON the thumb, and the pain appeared to be IN the thumb, I knew that the pain I was experiencing was really in my brain. I've always known this, but until recently I've never actually thought too deeply about this. Now my perceptions are changing. It is a humbling experience to look in the mirror and see that ALL of your experiences, thoughts, senses, dreams... are in that little head of yours. It makes me a bit uneasy, but I'm managing. No, I don't do drugs, either.
