I lost a big piece of this morning and I genuinely can't find it. I was sitting at my desk, I know that. I had my coffee. At some point I must have been looking at the screen or looking through it and then it was noon and I had no clear memory of getting there. Not asleep. Not thinking. Not anything I can name. Just a gap. A stretch of time that passed through me without leaving a trace.

It's happening more. These little absences where I'm present enough to keep breathing but gone enough to lose the hour. I come back cold, the coffee untouched, blinking at the clock. I think this is what being overstimulated for too long actually looks like - not mania, just // dropout. The mind just quietly removes itself for a while. I'm worried that the gaps are getting longer. How much of your day can you actually account for? Not guess at - genuinely remember, where you were and what you were thinking?
