I’ve never went overboard with anything in my life. For some reason my approach towards most things in life has been to create a balance.
It might sound like it’s a good thing, Right?
Truth being told, it isn’t always so.
For starters, there’s always a reality check looming for every decision I take. On pressing the “start” button, the entire flowchart of how it might end flashes in my head. It’s like when I go, “I want to do this”, “If you do this, A/B or C might happen. Are you Sure?”
Not that I stop doing things but the scenario A B C keep accompanying me with their version of how the end would be.
This does help on several occasions. I’m saved from taking stupid life decisions. And to think that I’ve taken so many even then, deserves a praise.
I remember one of my teacher, when I was in 6th grade, remarked how I already have the forehead wrinkles. Her explanation was that I must be “overthinking”. I didn’t believe her then. Kids.
I’ve over-complicated simple things in life because of these “Ye kiya to wo hojaega”.
At this point in life, I cannot let go of this, irrespective of my resolute efforts.
If I could learn to take things lightly, I’d love to.
Wouldn’t it be great to, as they say, take a chill pill?
