    as i child i used to play a mind game with myself when i was bored. i’d think of two random things and try to find a string of associations that connect the two. i was born being a nerd, playing the wikipedia game before i knew how to read

    my thoughts simply do not stop

      My game was sorta the opposite. After letting my mind wander for an undetermined amount of time, I would try and backtrack as far back as I could. I didn’t usually make it back more than a few steps, but finding that “first” thought was always satisfying.
