"You never know where your fears take you until someone knocks you in the head with a rock and tells you to knock it off. Not literally, of course. And that is after you make a huge fuss about it or in other words, letting your paranoia get out of control. It happens. The thing is, we all have something we are afraid of. It can be tangible, it can be intangible. It doesn't matter what it is. The point is, we all have something to fear and sometimes we lose it, but we learn to retract after a) someone convinces you to take your mind off of it b) someone or something proves you wrong c) you learn from yourself.
In the past weeks that I have been on hiatus, I have been very busy with school. Weekends consisted of family time, sleep, and procrastination. While out there trying to learn something, I had the chance to talk with a couple of people. During casual conversations, I learn of other people's stresses, causes of paranoia. I have seen people on the verge of losing it - hopeless and weary. I have even been asked for advice a couple of times by different people with different stresses. Now that I think about the things I have given as advice, the most common thing is to just take your mind off of it. Take your mind off of it and you will be fine. You don't have to worry about it. It's not something worth stressing over. Surprisingly, this piece of advice right here applies to many things. It's funny now that I think about it.
I also find it funny how every time I give an advice to someone, I always end up following my own. I have problems too. Usually though, I don't talk to anyone about it. But I guess subconsciously, every advice I try to give people are usually for myself too. Triple win. Self five.
I could be worse, but I am better. I am much better. I try to be reasonable; and if I can't do that then I try to keep my mouth shut or myself distracted. It's better than losing it for nothing.
People think too much. I think too much. I think too much. You can tell me to take my mind off of it and I will. Maybe."
On the contrary, I am very happy right now. My mind, my heart, my soul is in the right place and I could not be better. But you know, the mind does what it does, and the heart feels what it feels, even if it's not always reasonable. We learn from it. We come to our senses and then we smile again.
