The Train of Thoughts

Imagine your mind as a train station. Every thought is a train arriving on a track, sometimes on time, sometimes late, sometimes unexpected. When you’re overthinking, it’s like all the trains come at once. They’re loud. They’re fast. Some carry worries, some carry memories, some carry what-ifs and maybes. Sometimes you want to get on a train—hop on the story it tells, explore the “what if” or “maybe if”—but the problem is, there’s no space. There are too many trains. Too many stories. Too many voices shouting for attention. The trains don’t stop for long. They pull away before you’re ready. And just when you try to catch your breath, another one speeds in, rattling the tracks beneath your feet.
