First off, I'm not entirely sure how I ended up back here. You see, I used to blog aaaggges ago. And then I stopped. I'm not entirely sure why but I remember thinking I'd had enough of 'it'. What 'it' was eludes my memory.. Aaanyyyhooo, It doesn't really matter, does it? I'm here now.
Couple of things.
Shout out to my friend who convinced me I needed to get back to writing. For some reason, she thought I was a great read (you know, back in the day when I used to blog. Keep up). I was initially mystified that she'd somehow wanted to mention this very random thought to me some five years after the demise of my earlier blog. But more than that I was secretly pleased. You see, I'd always wanted to be a great writer.. someone who inspired through words.. so I guess the very fact that there existed at least ONE person in the whole world who thought I was vaguely good and wanted me to get back to writing so she could read more, was wildly flattering (also, mildly insulting, it took her FIVE years to let me know??Think of all the great writing the world has been deprived of?).
Anyway, I have been itching to write for a while anyway. Good or not, I guess is besides the point. I read so much in a day that after a while it all sort of is pouring out on its own really.
And yes, I do tend to overthink things. Case in point being the title of the blog, which took me a good 15 minutes to decide on (15 MINS???WTF??What sort of a dodgy mock amateur writer am I? Aren't words just supposed to be poring out of me?). So I tried coming up with some really witty name for the blog, but of course the whole point about wit is that it eludes you when you need it most, rather annoyingly. So after floundering around for a bit, I figured I'd just call a spade a spade and call myself the overthinker.Because that is What I Do. I don't think, I Overthink. So then I thought, holdonaminnit, is 'overthought' one word or two? A quick Google search revealed mixed results. I think its one word, but am still not sure. Then I spent another 5 mins or so wondering if people would be confused by the title, if they'd think my life 'over' thought meant I'd chosen life over thought.Although now that I'm typing it, it doesn't really make any sense whatsoever, so I'm not sure why I assumed the worst of my potential readers.
Aaaannnyyyway, there you go, this is how it is inside my head. Aren't you glad you're out there and not in here? ;)
Later ya'all!
