How to slowly kill yourself...

-
 

    Most of the teenagers these days find it incredibly difficult to make a decision, No matter how small it is, going from how to reply to a message, to what they should do in college or what job suits them best. Most of them spend hours on the internet looking for ways to help them decide. Does it work? Mostly not, at least that's my case. If you're going through all this, then congratulations, you are now a classic overthinker.
Today I decided to try something different. In this article, I'm not going to be telling my story, but the story of a person close to my heart. I met this girl last year, But we did not get closer till lately. we've been having this conversation about how badly can overthinking affect your life, and she got a hell of a story.
She said: << I don't have a story, To be honest, it's just that I know I missed a lot of happy moments because I overthought and jumped to conclusions that weren't true. I'm not saying I was always wrong, but the times I was right wasn't worth it. I overthought a lot in fear of being hurt and I end up hurting myself, Which is ironic. I now believe that you attract whatever vibe you create if you think that you're going to be backstabbed chances are that you are going to get backstabbed not because you were right, but because you started behaving in a way that led you to get backstabbed. It's fucked up I know, and a little bit unreasonable but it is true. Because I went through it multiple times. It started with my relationship with a high school relationship, I had high hopes for us the whole time, but the moment I started overthinking that he might go, and how will I be able to live without him, he left after a month or so. I went through hell, not just during the breakup but before too since I was living things that didn't happen. 7 or 8 months later I got control over my mind again stopped overthinking then I got him back but didn't really want him then because I went through hell and my brain blamed him rather than the overthinking. And you know what else, it happened again and if it wasn't from my overthinking and gut feeling telling me something wasn't right, he'd be still in my life now >>.
As we can see, overthinking happens as we grow older and as our curious, child-like brains become jam-packed with rational, concrete knowledge. It also impacts our normal functions, especially when our moods affect our thoughts. That’s bad, in case you’re wondering. I believe that people that overthink have gone through heartbreak and emotional distress. It is like our minds have their consciousness. It gets anxious. Overthinking acts as a defence mechanism when our mind feels threatened, and senses that we might get hurt and go through a new cycle of pain and misery, similar to the one that left a scar.
So why letting small thoughts decide how your life's going to turn? as long as we breathe, there is always a second chance, therefore, there is no need to be afraid.
Finally, always remember “We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. Think. Think. Think. You can never trust the human mind anyway. It's a death trap.” ― Anthony Hopkins

          I've always been surprised by how kids learn, and how their brains work like sponges absorbing every single information given to them, remembering every situation they went through. And how their curiosity pushes them to explore the world surrounding them. Without having any prejudgments that impede their learning process, Nothing is too difficult for them. Moderne technologies are not a challenge for them, How they figure out how a phone works or how to start a PS4, adults need Manuals to do that. What I'm saying is based on how my dad acts around those technologies, and how my little sister does around them. As those children start to grow up, they get to a stage where they start asking more frequent questions. Those questions might be tempting for the parents, while actually, they serve as golden opportunities for the grown-ups to teach their kids more about life.       I was born on the 01/10/1999, in a city, not that big called Meknes,  in the middle of a third w

I Love You But I Just Don't Like You Anymore...

     The relationship between the heart and the mind is a funny, complicated thing. Most people say to follow your heart, it’s because sometimes your mind over analyzes situations to the point where you can’t necessarily trust it. I believe that when we fall in love with another person, we put so much of ourselves into that love that we don’t always know who we’re falling in love with. We love the idea of love so much that we try to make it work even with people who are the absolute worst for us.       Couples fall in love and say they cannot imagine their life without each other. Love is a deep connection, and anyone who has fallen in love understands that you can love someone even when you don’t always like them.        But with time, your partner may begin to annoy you or you begin to see parts of them you don’t like. Whatever the reason, it happens to many of us. Our partner seems to change before our eyes in a way we never thought possible. Which brings us back to Anne Hathaway

      I never actually thought, that someday I will be writing this down for more than 200 people to read. But I feel by letting this go, I'll overcome one of the biggest obstacles I've ever faced.     Let me take you back to when I was 3 years old, asleep in my room, extremely hot and thirsty and all I could've done is to call for mom, I asked her to bring me some water. She came with a glass of water on her hand and asked me to grab it, and all I was saying is mom turn on the light it's dark in here. I can hear my mother's screams in my head till this day, Yeah I lost sight. My dad came running from work and they rushed to the hospital, my fever reached 42 and it was destroying my retina. I was then diagnosticated with a bacterial disease called "Meningitis"( it's a is an acute inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. 1 of every 7 survivors is left with a severe handicap, such as deafness or brain injury). the only
