You know that feeling when you are feeling stressed and you try to take a breath and it feels like the air gets stuck in your chest and every time you try to take another breath the air stuck in your chest gets more and you feel like you are just worsening the situation, but you need air?
Well, this is how the current world situation feels like.
Finding Thoughts started from that feeling.
From being overwhelmed by how complex everything seems — politics, the economy, the internet, people — and from wanting to understand how all these pieces connect. I want to try to catch a breath and understand the world I am living in and the experiences I am having. Isn’t it funny that I feel like I need to STOP in order to see the life I am living?
In my Weekly Thoughts I want to reflect on what I learned, what I saw, what I felt and put all these thoughts into words. And maybe also just try to find some thoughts in the mist. Because I often find myself numbed and silenced by all the things surrounding me, that trying to find a thought seems impossible.
In my Scattered Thoughts I can´t even tell you what you will find. I guess it will be the thoughts that I can’t even put into a reflection. The thoughts that are just glimpses, sparks or pieces – that maybe can light up into more.
So I guess what you will find here are small attempts to turn confusion into clarity, chaos into language, and restlessness into something that makes a little bit of sense. And maybe, if you’ve felt overwhelmed too, it might help you breathe a little slower as well.
