CONFESSIONS OF A RECOVERING OVERTHINKER

"Okay, maybe I'm overthinking..... But what if I'm not overthinking and something happens and my life is ruined forever?" -Me, every night at approximately 2:04 AM I know, I know, last week I was on here talking to ya'll about shifting your energy and how we all need to take a chill pill sometimes. And here I am one week later talking about being a over-thinker. But how can we solve our problems if we don't address them, right? Sit down, it's time for ghetto therapy.

Now, if you've been following my journey here on Aintbritfunny, you know that I'm no stranger to taking risks. From moving across the country to follow a dream to quitting jobs I hate not knowing what was next. You know, all that scary stuff. The crazy part is, I sometimes enjoyed the rush that taking risks gave me. You usually go through 3 different steps: 1. Fear - "I should just do it... but hold on.."
