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.

It's like this: There are good and bad sides to over-thinking. Ya'll want the good or the bad first?... Okay, I'll do the bad.

Over-thinking has made me many things:

1. A Procrastinator - Sometimes, I over-think things so much and get so overwhelmed that I just say forget it and go take a nap, then come back to it 5 seconds before I have to make a decision on it.

2. Late - I over-think everything, down to my outfits. I have had my shoes on, heading out (after changing clothes multiple times), caught a reflection of myself in the oven door and said "Naw, my legs look fat", went back to change and now I gotta go 150 mph to be on time.

3. Tired - Why does over-thinking come at night? I am in bed by 11 PM but somehow, I still find a way to stress over if my future man is going to leave me after he sees me with my retainers for the first time.

On the other side, it's good for some things:

1. Intuition - Over-thinking will help you to explore all outcomes before making any rash decisions. I have saved myself a lot of time and energy by allowing myself to think things through.

That's it. It's only good for one thing. It's one BIG thing though. See why I saved the good for last?

Ya'll, the moral of the story is, we still should probably chill out. Too much of anything is never good. Here's what I'm learning: If you can't solve it, let it go. If you can solve it, do it...then, let it go.

Will I follow my own advice? Will I continue to over-think? Will Chick-Fil-A ever open on a Sunday? Find out on the next webisode of #Aintbritfunny ....

See ya'll next week!

The Good Girl

"Wait, am I going to get in trouble if I do that?" I`ve always been that "by the book" type of person. If I didn`t get permission to do it, it`s not happening. Yep, you guessed it, my friends hated me in high school.  I was the one with the curfew at midnight. No, I couldn`t sneak inside of the house because my mother and father were always sitting on the couch in the front room waiting for me to get in. And if I wasn`t home by midnight, I had a five minute grace period before they were blowing up my little flip phone. "Where are you? Do you know what time it is?" "Yes mom, I`m down the street." We were really just getting off of the highway but it was no red lights and my friend had a heavy foot.  *Shout Out to Laster and Sophia Douglas.* I was always the "good girl" and that was NOT a compliment. Being the good girl meant that you were stuck up, weird, boring, funny acting, etc. I`m actually all of those things when I`m hun...

BLACK AND CAREFREE

"While ya'll being distracted by this, look what's happening over here..." Ya'll know exactly who those types of people are on your friends list, don't you? You can't share a few funny memes, indulge in a hot topic discussion or post pictures of your lit brunch without somebody saying "Some of ya'll black folks be worried about the wrong thing!" And yes, some black folks ARE worried about the wrong thing BUT some black folks can worry about more than one thing at once. I mean damn, don't ya'll want a break sometimes? Photo: My Mama. Today's topic is on being BLACK AND CAREFREE . I wanted to make some heart warming post about black folks being able to be happy even in the face of adversity. Being able have joy and be aware at the same time. I had all intentions of posting photos of myself and my friends full of smiles. Making jokes about being black, educated and well spoken but being able to turn that off to be b...

DRANKS AND PAINTS AND VIBES

"I wanna go out, but I don't want to be around a whole lot of people, but I wanna mingle and see new faces and I wanna hear good music but I don't wanna dance." If you're anything like me, an extroverted introvert, you appreciate a good night out minus all of the extra stuff like heels and crowds you can't move in. I wanted to bring in this past birthday as cool and chill as possible. You know, flats, cupcakes, a drink and a nap. Well, I started my weekend just the way I wanted to with the Specialty Cocktails + Urban Art Workshop! Yes, we was in there drinking and spray painting. What more can I ask for? Now, my first run in with spray paint was not a good one. Let me give ya'll a very quick story: Aight so boom... the year was 2009. I was out with some friends from school roaming the streets of Chicago at night. Keep in mind, I went to an art school so all of my friends were some sort of artists. The guys we were hanging with were sic...
