I think in images and colors. Time follows a bit of a circular pattern, reflect on moments of the past as they are relevant to the present, recall moments of clarity or confusion that might bring light to the present. If I can take words on a page and transform them into a systematic image, not a flow chart but images of chains of events, then they make better sense. If I draw them out on paper, they become tangible and I am likely to recall them.
Sometimes I do speak with myself, when needing to convince myself not to be sad or to look on the bright side of a situation. This was more of a learned habit. I am more inclined to say and think in fluidity, then revisit when necessary, to edit and clarify.
As I type, I am not inclined to think of actual words, but rather the emotions behind them. The words appear on the screen as an expression of my inner thoughts, as small pictures that are closer to universally understood.
