(over)Thinking.

Hey guy's sorry for posting so late...a Friday of all days. Been busy with work and some other stuff but here I was, looking at my computer, knowing that I had to write something because when I start writing is when I actually form an idea. What a weird way to write, right? I didn't take me long to process what I wanted to talk about and that is OVERTHINKING.

I think we all suffer the problem of overthinking, it eats at us slowly. It takes root in your deepest insecurities and just grows until your thoughts are twisted trees, a forest with no beginning and no foreseeable end.

I used to think myself to the point where I wanted to rip my hair off, and I couldn't even breathe. Night's where I would stay awake until 4:30 in the morning and had to wake up at 6am so I could go to school. I realized that it was killing me and I really wasn't going anywhere with thinking. Then I met someone during my Senior year of High School who told me to "Stop thinking" as if it were as simple as that? Well for me it was. It's like the only thing I could think about after that conversation with that person was to not think about anything but not thinking, (don't misinterpret me I'm not telling you that I didn't give two shit's about what I did, I though things through. It's more about things that bother you about yourself or about things that you've done), and it helped. To this day I often find myself reciting "Don't Think" as a mantra to focus on what I really have to think about.

So all in all I want to thank my friend from my Senior Year, thank you for helping me during that crazy time in my head, thank you for helping me get my thoughts in check and actually helping me develop my own little way of focusing on the things that matter the most and silencing that things that don't. Just remember, overthinking can get the best of you but you just gotta take a deep breath and focus on small things first and slowly but surely things will work out.
