Thinking about thinking I think there’s not too much to think about, especially regarding the following statement of sentiment: idontthinkifeel. Howsoever you might divide that up as a statement or two or sentiment, etc., really depends on you and reveals more about you than it does about anything or anyone else.

To not think but to feel or to think that one does not feel is to reflect both sides of a coin, which is to say that the rational and emotional minds are but one in the same in many ways, though I am inclined to think that I feel more so than I do think, thought thought-processing is a very integral part of my being, my nature, as I do not feel anything without having thought it out–still, I do not think what I feel; rather, what I feel gives rise to what I think: in the end, it’s the age old question of which or whether one comes before the other–and I know not which it is.

For I feel. And I think. And I feel and think and feel and think and feel and think and feel, etc. But which is which? Again, does it even matter? Or what does it matter, if it be mattering at all? I know not which nor whether, neither do I know whither all this matters in any real significant sense or sentiment. Still, I must write this reflection, incumbent upon me is the necessity whereby I am compelled to reflect on the page as much as I do in my mind–or, perhaps, minds.

The phrase “idontthinkifeel” requires a point of punctuation or two and where you place the point or points of punctuation, that is, how you punctuate the phrase, reveals how you think or feel about the whole thing. I can’t seem to determine which it is and I cannot box myself into a singular unit, as the two abide within my mind, my minds, whatsoever there is within me. I would say that I think more than I feel but then I feel that I feel more than I think–or just both equally, really.
