Overthinking - The bane of existence

 Overthinking is the bane of existence for many. It's like a never-ending hamster wheel in your brain, spinning and spinning until you're dizzy with possibilities and uncertainties. But what if I told you that overthinking is not only unnecessary but also a hilarious waste of time? Let's dive into why you should kick that pesky habit to the curb and embrace the art of underthinking.

 
Jeez! All these thoughts!



First of all, let's talk about the amount of energy that goes into overthinking. Have you ever spent hours on end contemplating what to wear to a party, only to end up going in sweatpants? Not that I've done that myself, but I hear it's a thing. The amount of brainpower spent on something as trivial as party attire could be better spent on, I don't know, curing diseases or inventing the flying car. It's time to put that mental energy to good use, people!

Now let's talk about the absolute absurdity that comes with overthinking. Have you ever found yourself playing out worst-case scenarios in your head like you're directing your own personal disaster movie? Will the apocalypse happen because you didn't turn off the stove? Will your boss fire you because you forgot to send a follow-up email? It's time to take a step back and realize that you're not the star of an action film and that most likely, everything will be just fine.

Too many thoughts!
Let's not forget the fact that overthinking is a massive waste of time. You could be out there living your life, experiencing new things, meeting new people, and here you are, stuck in your head, worrying about every possible outcome. It's like being stuck in a never-ending game of "what if?" It's time to stop playing that game and start living in the present moment.

So what can we do to kick the habit of overthinking? First of all, take a deep breath and let go of those incessant thoughts. Embrace the art of underthinking - it's the latest trend, I promise! Second, try to focus on the present moment instead of constantly worrying about the future or dwelling on the past. And finally, take a break from your own mind and go out and do something fun and spontaneous. Who knows, maybe you'll discover a new hobby or passion that will take your mind off those pesky overthinking tendencies.

All will be well. Calm the mind! 

In conclusion, overthinking is like a bad habit that we all need to break. It's not only unnecessary but also a complete waste of time and energy. So let's embrace the art of underthinking and start living in the present moment. Who knows what adventures and opportunities await us once we let go of our worries and start living our lives to the fullest! References

Nimpost Ama Nisimpost?

You ever sat there scrolling your feed, fingers itchy, wondering—“Nimpost ama nisimpost?” 😅 Because let’s be real, in 2025 having a relationship is not just about love—it’s a whole PR project. The moment you tag bae, the whole world feels entitled to a seat at your dinner table. aded13a1-c639-4bd3-a8fd-c97fd4d0554b.png  When your relationship is a public project, not a private journey.    Challenge number one: the audience. Your relationship instantly stops being two people and becomes a community project. Aunties in diaspora, haters from high school, your ex lurking with popcorn. Everyone is “watching.” One fight and suddenly your post of “my forever” looks like satire. Challenge number two: the pressure. Public love has deadlines. You must like, comment, post couple pics or else…“Is everything okay?” Bro, sometimes I just want to love silently without feeling like a content creator for my own relationship. Challenge number three: the exit strategy. Private breakups are...

Why Money + Love = 2: A Happy New Year’s Controversy

Happy New Year, everyone! We’ve officially stepped into a brand-new year of chaos, excitement, and questionable resolutions. Some of you might be working on that six-pack (good luck with that), others may have vowed to be a better version of yourselves (again, best of luck), and a few of you probably just aim to survive the year (I’m with you). But let’s not kid ourselves: there’s a far more pressing question that needs answering. Are we really living in a world where money and love equal happiness? Can these two opposites actually add up to a perfect balance in life? Now, brace yourselves, because I’m about to drop a controversial hot take: Money and love are like 1 + 1 = 2. Think about it. Love alone is nice, but if you’re broke, how far does that love go? It’s hard to cuddle up in front of a fireplace when your electricity’s been cut off for the third time this month. But money alone? Don’t even get me started. You may have enough cash to buy a yacht, but it’s not much fun if you’re...

Why We All Need to Stop Running Away From Discomfort (But We Probably Won’t)

  Okay, let’s get real. We all have that one thing we do when life throws us an uncomfortable situation: we run. Yep, we ghost our problems, just like we ghost those half-baked Tinder matches or the leftover pizza in the fridge (don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about). But let’s be honest—avoiding discomfort is the ultimate cop-out. It feels good in the moment, sure. When someone brings up that awkward conversation about your personal life, or heaven forbid, asks you to take selfies when you’re just not feeling it (I mean, I’m not a Kardashian), it’s easy to do what I call the “silent retreat” move. Just shut down, walk away, and hope that if you ignore it long enough, it’ll magically fix itself. Spoiler alert: it won’t. But Why Do We Do This? It’s not like we’re all secretly introverts running away from human interaction (though, if you are, I totally understand). No, we avoid discomfort because it’s... uncomfortable. Shocking, right? But here’s the kicker: avoiding ...
