We pretty much always need an outside force to get us to stop.

    I see this every day. I try to stop and just take in the moment. But I can’t. I can’t stop. I can’t take in the moment. And it was only for a moment, now it’s gone. And now that it’s gone, I can’t stop thinking about it. I try to stop. I can’t stop stopping. But I also can’t not stop stopping. It’s my struggle. It’s what I struggle with the most. Stopping.

      You also started thinking about it, you started trying, and with some practice you’ll learn how to stop when you need to. It’s not about stopping, it’s about… a bunch of complex stuff because nothing in our brains has a simple straightforward explanation as much as we like to pretend it does.
