    Yea this absolutely is not how it works for me.

    There is literally nothing inside my head. Pitch blackness. Just a void of information that I can piece together to get an idea.

    Like “I know X business is on the Southside of town and on Y Street. I know Y Street connects to ##HWY. The highway runs E-W, and these streets that run N-S connect to ##HWY…” So on and so forth until I have a connected path from point A to Point B.

      It’s fascinating that people are like this. Like how do you have ideas? If I’m going to make something I can kinda see what I want it to be in my head. Or when I try to go to sleep by just imagining scenarios and things.

        The ideas just lack visual/auditory components. its all just concepts and intangible information.

        Like when I draw, I know how I want it to turn out as well. I just don’t “see” any of it until I put it on paper but all the logic behind why I want it that way is still there. I know what I want to convey through the art and what will let me do that. I know what objects I want to be in the image. I know the general color palette and style I want to draw in to convey a specific mood. The metaphors, allegories, or any other references I want to make.

        Sleeping fucking sucks. It’s just laying in the dark listening to ambient noises for hours waiting until the moment the world skips a beat and I’m waking back up. Sometimes my mind runs on its own but it isn’t really “imagining” anything more just running logic scenarios, endlessly speculating the "What if?"s about all my life’s regrets but that’s not really healthy and just keeps me up longer.
