pictures

Going through a little dip.

About ones a year (I think), I lose my ability to think in pictures. I don’t know why that happens. Whether it has something to do with the season or just with being tiered or something.
When it happens it feels as though my world comes to an end.
I can’t think and I can’t think about doing anything.

Although I have had this many times before and it always passes, I never remember that while it’s happening. It always feels as though an important piece of my life will be forever gone.

The strange thing is that activities that are totally unrelated to thinking in pictures also come to a halt.
When I can’t think in pictures I can’t draw. That sounds kind of logical.
Nor can I write. That may sound less logical to people who think in words. But I have to see the story in my mind before I can write it down.
But what I don’t understand is why I can’t do my fitness trainings. Not only does it become utterly boring but I don’t have the energy.

And then it passes.
After a few weeks my ability to think in pictures comes back. But I never notice that it has come back.
I start thinking in pictures again as though I had been doing that all along. Without realizing that it was something that had been missing for a few weeks.
So instead of picking up where I left of I go on doing nothing for a few more weeks.
Nothing as in watching TV and doing video games. Which is fun but it leads to nothing.

Only today I realized that my ability to think in pictures had left me and had come back and that I should resume working on my blog.

I just checked that stats of my RSS feed for the first time in almost a month. I found that although I hadn’t written anything in almost a month I haven’t lost a reader.
So may I extend a warm felt “thank you” to my loyal readers.
Thank you!
