  • Consciously processing the information that is coming at you while driving is just too much. Noticing everything.

    Approaching intersection. Light is green. Four way intersection. Nobody turning left. Car in front of me holding speed. Black car. Behind me car holding speed red car. Pedestrians crossing in line with traffic on other side of street. No pedestrians this side. Light is still green. Car in front is still black. Car in front slowing slightly. Lane change behind me car is now green and matching my speed. Car turning right at intersection is silver and stopped to give me right of way.

    Whew.

    Ironically, this is the reason I love my motorbike. I can ride for hours in that state, and it feels amazing, like it’s feeding the hyperfocus, hyperactive part of my brain.

    The second I stop though, I’m exhausted.
