Overthink
Verb
Gerund or present participle: overthinking
think about (something) too much or for too long
Anytime someone looks up this term, it’s followed by 10 or more articles about how not to overthink, but why?
Why is it that we can’t think about a certain someone or for a situation for a long time?
Overthinking is or can be by synonymous to over loving or over dressing, neither of which seem viable because it is what allows you to feel wholly
I read a poem the other day:
So many people walk this earth
With purpose in their eyes
But in their heart of hearts they know
What they’re living is a lie
The alarm goes off at 6 AM
Like every other day
So that they walk into a job they hate
.
.
.
I’m all too scared for that day
I’ll become like the rest
Only walking with the crowd
I’ll look back and realise
I never lived, just existed
And this is why overthinking or over loving is nothing but taking each experience without holding back
Aesthete
