Overthinking

I won’t tell you to stop overthinking, its human nature, therefore its inevitable. Honestly, even the fact that we are gifted with the ability to think for ourselves is a blessing in itself, so trying to suppress that isn’t going to help anyone. Yes, I admit that it is pretty easy for us humans to lead ourselves down into a dark pit of despair over the most inconsequential thought, however is it not just as easy for us to become overjoyed at those very same thoughts or actions, like a smile from that special person. So if you want to enjoy the good, you have to accept the bad that comes with it, such is the life we live. However, accepting that does not mean succumbing to it, rather it means using those positive thoughts to counter the negative ones. That adversity can be our strength, the fighting back our bravery. So next time you find yourself alone with your thoughts, remember that this is what makes you human.
