I think I think too much

So, I've been writing this post for over 3 weeks now .. I know what you're thinking .. 3 weeks to write a blog post? Yes, I started to over think the topic. Instead of making this all serious and boring, I decided to throw in some pleasing facts about us over-thinkers too.. 

1. Saying Sorry. When we apologise, we really mean it. We have probably spent hours going through every single, small detail that lead to us having to make amends to our relationship.

2. We're not insecure,  we're just control freaks. We are 'the mother' in every group. If we ask you to message us when you get home - do so. Our mind will play out a bunch of horrible scenarios if you don't. You know, you could be cheating or laying dead in a ditch.

3.Sleep is the bane of our existence.
There is a high possibility that laying in bed, silently, in the dark and with no distraction whatsoever makes us sink into our racing thoughts. Oh hello there INSOMNIA.

4. We write, delete, re-write - almost everything. You know, we could have or should have said something other than what we did. We could have used simpler or less words. Maybe we should have inserted an emoticon somewhere in there too. 

5. We're probably hypochondriacs. What is this weird mark on my skin and how long has it been there? Please tell us you've experienced a pain similar to what we're describing. If you haven't; well, we're probably dying. 

6. Evidence  is our best friend, after all  as Carl Sagan said “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.” We take screenshots of everything you say because
a. We love re-reading texts that made us smile. 'or'
b. We will spend all night wondering what you really meant and trying to read between the lines.

7. We hang onto you for life. When we meet someone that makes us live the moment, makes us smile and challenges our mind we will make sure to keep you in our lives for as long as we possibly can. We will do anything (yes, anything) to reciprocate the love.

8. Our brains can handle a lot. We don't mean to brag when we say that we've survived the lowest of lows and highest highs. 

9. We organise the best parties. We take our time to explore all the different options. Creativity, innovation and originality are our best friends. If you get invited to one of our parties and decide not to attend - well, you're missing out. 


10. We have high expectations. We are hard on ourselves because we want to put our best foot forward in all that we do.

11. We're great conversationalists. We collect small chunks of information on almost everything* - this makes us the best conversation buddies .  
*Well not really everything. -Do not speak to me about politics, I have 0 knowledge and interest on that subject. 


12. We 'Carpe Diem' like no other. We make the most out of everything, not leaving anything to regret or chance. We make each and every moment matter.

Moral of this rant - We over-thinkers can be cool and funny but we also need to learn that sometimes we just need to go with the flow and see where it takes us. We will definitely make mistakes but, we will also make new discoveries. It is always interesting to see where our decisions take us, and it may be those decisions that shape us to be who we become.
