#Where my other babies go? Whyd you push them out?? Yet I dont stop feeding the cuckoo. I cant. I have to feed the baby

You've heard of [person/character/show/story/media/art] living rent free in your head right?

Now get ready for: that, but each is a little bird in the nest of you mind, some birds are there for a long time and some just a little while, as they come and go and theres some you feed more than others And it's not until you realize that suddenly "theres less birds here" "where'd the other babies go?" That the bird you started to feed a couple days ago is Cuckoo bird

#(Metaphor for when you have a new special interest that suddenly takes over your brain- #that you cant even focus on other things that used to live rent free in you brain because it's all [CUCKOO] now) #Sometimes theres multiple birds that get along okay (I can focus on each without distracting from the others) #with maybe a favorite of the bunch #but I switch between them fine #And often there will be a new bird that visits for a bit before flying away #And other times a new bird just comes in all of a sudden and takes over #But most of the time. I think it's just a new bird to visit for a little while #and then suddenly it's the only one in the nest #Where my other babies go? Whyd you push them out?? Yet I dont stop feeding the cuckoo. I cant. I have to feed the baby #Anyway. Tmnt is a cuckoo but there is now another cuckoo in the nest and they're fighting #We'll see if the new one manages to push tmnt out or if tmnt will regain the upper hand #The 'new' cuckoo has actually been here before. But it had been well over 4 years since it was the leader of the nest #And almost a year and half since it visited . (So it's been building strength since and came back with a vengeance lol) #I'm taking the metaphor too far #I'll shut up now #Midnight rambling #It is 2:30 am #living rent free in my head
