Letters To My Love

Overthinking is a bitch.

I’m hyper aware and I notice all these little things that some don’t or just ignore. This naturally leads to assumptions and attaching meaning to those things. The rub comes in when some of the time my assumptions are correct, but it really bites me in the ass when I’m not. It also leads me to believe stories that could or could not be true. The problem is that those stories hurt me more than they help.

I’m learning to let the ego fall away because its ok to be wrong or not even know the answer sometimes. I’m learning to clarify with kindness. I’m learning to be confident to ask someone to restate something because it makes me feel a certain way instead of assuming the story I’ve created. I’m learning to be direct when actions don’t match words. I’m learning to face the things that scare me and walk through the fear. I’m learning to shine a light on myself so that shame has no place to hide.
