Yesterday afternoon, vinspiration returned to me with full force.
It hit me so hard, in fact, that I had to recover for a while, after having gotten up on my feet again. And that after having felt pretty low and uninspired, in the morning.
I guess it always hits you, when you least expect it ;<)
A bunch of lines came to me, in rhyme. I only changed some words, today.
I then imagined a book filled with the Other Monsters. A page ( or two ) per monster with an illustration.
I am sure the illustrations will come to me soonish. Probably Hopefully so soon that I can update this post with one of them ;<)
EDIT: Your wish is my command! Illustration added.
I also had some fun, jamming on the guitar and trying to sing along.
It's probably a good thing that I don't have neighbors. Although I'm sure some of you would have loved to witness this spectacle ( @diabolika @fenngen @selfhelp4trolls @clareartista
and surely @deirdyweirdy - if I would film my legs )
OVERTHINKING AND UNDERFEELING
wore a helmet indoors
as it feared that the ceiling
would come down and crush it.
Even in bed
it kept wearing protection
it could hardly sleep
always ready for action
Overthinking kept it up at night
as its lizard brain
was on fight or flight
What also stayed on
was its bedroom light
it had never learnt dealing
with what it was feeling
on the inside
Behind The Scenes:
The Monster of Disco
( Learn even more about it in the pinned 'Ultimate Guide to...'post above my blog)
doesn't always feel great.
Suffice to say that it has all these voices in its head
also known as 'The Other Monsters'.
They distract it from feeling good,
if it pays them too much attention
Overthinking was one of those 'other monsters'
that it didn't like as a visitor.
It never made him feel good.
What did help though,
was to get (the voices) out of his head,
by doing things he loved.
Dancing was an example of that.
It would make him feel connected,
instead of disco-nnected.
