I have a tendency to overanalyse.
From picking apart old messages to reflecting on the
conversation I had with the lady at the train station, every interaction seems
to swill around in my mind until my stop's been announced. Let's hope there's
no delays.
I used to think that growing up was synonymous with not
caring, or at least, caring about things less. Without exams, cliques and msn
messenger, what would there be to worry about? Quite a lot as it turns out.
Now I'm not talking house prices or the declining state of
the economy - now that's a post in itself - I'm talking about those worries
that you never would have even considered. The things like navigating
commitment, how to sign off a light hearted email or 'what kind of coffee won't
make me look like I'm trying too hard'.
Small, simple things that on a laptop screen seem trivial,
but in real life seem pretty important. And that's something with which we're
all fairly familiar with.
Whilst right now these things seem overwhelming, at some
stage - whether it's in a week or seven months - they're bound to diminish.
Like the time you got locked in the PE cupboard or left your food tech
ingredients at home, those supposedly significant worries become chapters and
anecdotes that are almost nice to look back on.
Especially when you realise seven years without PE has
probably improved your general wellbeing.
Do you think looking back can be a good thing?
