Overthinkers Anonymous

Oh boy. Some days it seems as though my mind just won’t slow down. Thoughts run continuously through my mind so quickly that I can’t even keep up with them. And it doesn’t have to be negative. Sometimes they’re positive thoughts. Sometimes they’re curious thoughts. All times, they’re too quick for me to fully comprehend.

I’m one of those people who will be mid conversation with someone and randomly spout out something that has nothing to do with what we’re talking about. And why? Because my mind is running ten steps ahead of any conversation that I’m having.

Does anyone else do this? I can’t be the only one.

A lot of times the thoughts running through my mind aren’t even relevant to my life. I think that’s what happens when you care too much. When you have too much sentiment for everything and everyone. You can’t help but have it top of mind because even though it seemingly doesn’t matter, it does matter. Everything matters.

My mind is running too fast for me today. It’s a beautiful day and I can’t slow down. I need a distraction. Ooh a squirrel. Did you know that the Seychelles are sinking due to climate change? Puppies are cute.
