If I COULD CHANGE...
#WritcoStoryPrompt117

"If I could change one thing about my life, It would be my tendency to overthink."

I struggle with overthinking, which leads to unnecessary stress and worry. However, I am actively working on accepting situations as they are and not feeling the need to clarify every little thing that bothers me. I am learning to be patient and not jump to conclusions that are based on imagination and endless possibilities.

At one point, I was concerned that my overthinking would lead to depression, but I found relief in writing. I have written thousands of quotes about friendship, love, life, philosophy, and more. Writing has become a true passion of mine, although I used to seek attention and appreciation for my work.

Now I understand that it is not necessary to seek validation from others but to be more confident, realistic, and happy. I am confident in my ability to overcome my tendency to overthink and live a happier life as a result.
