When Thoughts Start To Grow
I’ve been carrying so many thoughts that never made it anywhere.
Words I almost said, feelings I couldn’t explain, ideas that kept me awake at night.
For so long, everything just stayed inside.
Too loud to ignore, but too tangled to share.
TankeHagen started as a small idea, something I created for myself when everything felt overwhelming.
A quiet place where my thoughts could breathe without judgment.
Somewhere my mind could grow softly, slowly, without pressure.
This is where my thoughts begin to take shape.
This is where I let them grow.
A Mind Full of Noise
There were times when my mind felt like a storm.
Not chaotic on the outside, but loud and heavy on the inside.
Thoughts were always moving, changing shape before I could catch them.
Some days, I had so many ideas that I didn't know where to put them.
Other days, I could not feel any of them at all.
Somewhere between the noise and the quiet,
I realised I needed a place where my thoughts could land
before they disappeared again.
This is what it is like living with ADHD.
Beautiful, overwhelming, loud and quiet all at once.
The First Seed
I didn’t plan to share any of this.
I didn’t plan to be open.
I simply needed a place to exist
without feeling like too much.
So this is my first seed.
Small, fragile, and still learning what it will become.
I do not know what it will grow into,
but I hope it finds you when you need it most.
Because sometimes, all a thought needs
is a place to land.
Yours truly,
TankeHagen♡
