[OC] It’s all in your mind.

Last week, I decided to take up meditation to relieve some stress. I sat cross-legged on my living room floor, closed my eyes, and attempted to clear my mind. But instead of moments of blissful silence, my brain decided it was the perfect time to hold a full-blown debate about whether pineapple belongs on pizza. My thoughts escalated quickly—one minute I was contemplating Zen, and the next I was arguing with imaginary friends named Marco and Pepperoni about the finer points of topping selection.
Picture me, the serene meditator, only to be interrupted by my brain playing out a dramatic culinary courtroom scene. There I was, stifling giggles while lost in a mental wrestling match—think “Judge Judy” meets “Chopped.” My cat, oblivious to my inner chaos, strolled by like a furry judge, clearly unimpressed with my lack of focus. In that moment, it dawned on me: achieving peace is tough when your mind represents an entire pizzeria on the brink of insanity!
