I've never once in my waking life been without thought. I've always assumed it's impossible to actually be clear of thought. I've meditated and can hold a thought if need be, but never can I outright clear them away.

Wait, are you actually supposed to be able to just stop thinking?

Some people do apparently. Me I’m like OP its a constant stream of thought. Evening as typing this I’m actively reading the words.

My wife has this too, but with things she needs to do. Sounds pretty great, honestly since she rarely forgets anything important.

I on the other hand have a constant and unending stream of music, and I don't have any control of the song. It's less helpful.
