Confessions of a compulsive overthinker

You left your flowers in the backseat of my car
The things we said and did have left permanent scars
Obsessed depressed at the same time
I can't even walk in a straight line
I've been lying in the dark no sunshine
No sunshine
No sunshine

I can promise you that soon enough my posts will be back to Fun Lovin' Criminals' lyrics, but for now you are stuck with Maroon 5.

Because so am I.

Well today, children, we are going to face the darkest of all dilemmas: to feel or not to feel.

Well, let's be real, you can't decide on that.

So let's change our topic to the much more realistic, and yet Jurassic Park's T-rex terrifying: to tell or not to tell.


Have you ever thought youmade it perfectly clear to someone that you like them but then nothing changed in either direction?

Well, dearest, if your answer to the above questions was either "yes" or "sorta" or "I think so" or any other of the kind, chances are you actually didn't.

And you might as well believe it, because Iam the Queen (yes, with a capital Q) of "I think I made it clear".

No, this does not apply only to romance or relationships, it applies to all major fields of the human experience: love, friendship, job interviews, pets... really any field.

I have recentily started approaching my life in adifferent way, mainly because I was running out of things to worry about so I decided I should get back a few pounds and throwing myself under the bus.

So I found out that doubting myself comes easy so I started questioning every little aspect of my being me and that involved some re-evaluating some (one) relationships (no -s needed, I was just pretending I had a much more diverse life... I really don't).

Maybe in your life too there is someone you overlooked,someone you thought you didn't need to think about.... someone that everytime you thought about him/her one of the voices went like "Whoa! No! Don't go there!".

Well, if you do, here is my piece of advice: go there.

Think about it.

Evaluate.

Don't wait for your best friend to think about it for you.

And if you do wait for your best friend to make you notice and start thinking (orbetter, just considering) the possibility, one thing you should do is: be clear.

Do not play scenarios in your head before.

Do not send ambiguous texts that you can interpret after.

DO not involve otherpeople (not even the above mentioned best friend) in your madness because you will start building upthings in your head and we are back on the scenarios, just this time they will all go terribly wrong.

Yes, if it feels like he likes that friend of yours, he probably does.

Yes, if you make enough of an effort you can make him like that friend of yours and perpetuate your loneliness.



No, this will not make you feel better.
Yes, he was probably your Lloyd Dobler; akward looks and 80's style included.
