I feel relaxed in a very sublime, restful, restless, tired way. the glass of water in front of me helps. It also feels very uncomfortable to be writing this as a public comment. I am uneasy and restful at the same time, but I think it's fluctuating sort of depending on what my current focus of writing is, and my mood has a little constructive anxietish when I intend to type something new. I still feel that restful relaxed tiredness. I love it, even though stating this publicly makes me uncomfortable.

A lot of my thinking takes the form of internal monologue; talking to myself, or adressing an imaginary audience, or sometimes adressing an actual person who's involved in whatever I'm thinking about. (An interesting aspect is that I almost never imagine being talked back to.) Contrary to Alicorn's observation thinking-as-soliloquy seems pretty common here.

Some of my thinking feels like a smoldering fire, a background process that needs to be given time to run its course, to be tended and protected even though it's invisible, but will eventually break to the surface.

Sometimes my thinking takes the form of actually talking to myself out loud. But this is usually only when something is really bothering me or I have some grandiose or noble plan, which I'm probably procrastinating about or likely to forget (don't tell me that, though). I'm usually driving when I do this.
