I'm still trying to wrap my head around 50%-70% of the world having no running, inner monologue in their head that is constantly speaking.

And trying to reconcile that some people may view the constant inner voice that the 30%-50% of us in the world that have it, as some form of mental illness, or, at the least, an abnormality when taken in extreme consideration.

This is something I read about a few months ago but it just bubbled back to the surface of my mind the past few days while I've been trying to process some loss in my life and what life means.

I'm not schizophrenic.

I'm not autistic.

I don't have ADHD.

I process information in different ways.

It's not always great having that voice constantly going. Sometimes that voice casts doubt onto me and is mean and harsh.

But sometimes that voice is profound and able to surmount the most difficult life experiences a human can have.
