saw a post recently (can’t find it now) that said something along the lines of “i feel like i’ve been past my expiration date for awhile now & i’m just still here wandering aimlessly” & that really hit home
when i visualize what i want for my future, i don’t see myself dressed professionally in an office working on a computer for 8hrs a day. i see myself floating aimlessly in the middle of a lake under moonlight.
it’s always after regrounding & exiting the overthinking spiral that you realize you had accidentally wandered into quicksand & not all your thoughts are really a part of who you are, but just fleeting concepts that visit briefly & eventually pass through you
