What", "if" are two simple words that can individually help asking a question or setting a"
condition, but if combined together they might form a mental disast
What if I fail? What if all my dreams go to waste? What if he never loved me? What if she
blocked my feelings? What if I'm not good enough? What if I'm not on the right track?
...What if..What if..What if.
Once our mind starts a "what if" assumption, it enters
the zone no one would ever love, which is the over
thinking zone. One definition of this zone is " the darkzone " because it's like exploring a place for the first
time every time, we don't know what it might lead us
to, so we start making assumptions and see how much
we might lose or get hurt as a consequence for these
assumptions, we imagine the worst-case-scenario and watch how our dreams collapse
in-front of us .
The weird part about over-thinking is that although we know how painful it is and how
much misery we put ourselves through every time we over-think; we still do it and spend
most of our lonely time doing it spontaneously and witnessing its effect right after we
stop.
These effects are what varies between us. Some people might end up crying because
they just thought it's worthless or their efforts aren't appreciated, others might end up
eating cause that's how they respond to depression as all their dreams collapsed in a
second and most of us end up hoping that none of what we thought of comes to reality.
We -human beings- are thinkers by nature so we can't control whether we over-think or
not but, we can control what we do when we over-think because here's the thing; our
mind is nasty, it won't leave one bit of a chance to make you believe you can't do a certain thing but you won't let that happen, you will struggle because you can't let your
thoughts take over control of how you feel, how you react and most importantly of how
you live.
You, are the only person in control. You, are the one who will survive all the circumstances you're put through. You, are the one who will get affected if things don't go well just because you decided to surrender to your thoughts. If you surrender once, you'll surrender
every time until you drown deep into your dark zone and you can't allow that to happen
because simply, you are the only hero of your life, only you will save you .
