The Unfolding Scars

Photo courtesy of Savannah Class / Unsplash For the longest time, I have put on a face, tried to look okay, and found comfort in self-development articles. Well today, I just realize there is just some internal damage resting inside that erupts in the worst moments of life. Have you heard of this person who just finds peace in solitude, always staying locked at home, with a mirror as a best friend and comfort? That's a self-description. And just as a friend, there are days you don't get along with the image on the other side of the mirror. So, there I sit looking at the image on the other side of the mirror. Most times I see potential in the person but other times, it just shows how broken the person is. Your smile does crazy things with it but shows no sympathy when you are at the worst. However, I tend to believe I am my best comfort. Other than the mirror is a mind always racing with thoughts and fantasies. Filled with words and events in reality I cannot do. At some point, ...

How Overthinking Steals us From The Present Moment

Hey fam, 

Popping in my blog suddenly after ghosting it for God knows how long is not amusing. Yeah, it's been a while, quite engaged, but I always have the blog in mind. Anyways the reason for writing about this topic is due to a sequence of related thoughts and voices of it around me recently. 

First of all am an overthinker, which pisses me off most times. Again, on Sunday in church, the preaching was about bracing ourselves not minding others' judgment. Also, yesterday I came across a quote over the internet that says we are our prisons by clouding our judgment. And hell yeah, I decided to let myself get over the issue through my blog. You can thank the sequence for bringing me back to my blog. 

So, overthinking situations is part of most of us, and we often find it difficult not to over-analyze situations. Many tell us, be kind to yourselves, but it naturally doesn’t happen. But I hope this post will help lessen the outlook, especially if you see what we cost ourselves by overthinking. 

Why we Overthink

We are often excessively lost in our mind thinking about what we had just done at that event, how we were dressed, and too many other comparisons with others. We always are afraid of not fitting in, and that’s a problem, as you all know. We all have different individualities and can only be happy in those personalities. 

Again, we overanalyze our next moves in life due to fear of not making the right decision. Come to think of it, we live with uncertainties, not knowing what the future holds for us. Why then overthink about the steps you will make. A much greater being is in control of our lives, and we should believe in ourselves and the process. Furthermore, it only prevents us from just doing whatever we have to do, costing us many opportunities.  

Why You Should Refrain From Overthinking

Overthinking steals us away from the present moment. It denies us the happiness of life events. It would be best if we permitted ourselves to live without overanalyzing our behavior. “We need to release ourselves from the shackles of our minds that keep us trapped in a cycle of self-doubt and skepticism,” Ash Alves.

My Latest Travel Experience

  Adventure at Camp Ndunda As I sat on my bed thinking of what to publish in my next post, I couldn’t help but obey the after-effects of my excursion last weekend. The experience was so captivating that I thought it would be best to put it on record. So, my friends and I went camping at Camp Ndunda Falls in Embu from Friday to Sunday. This was my first camping trip. It was also in honor of a friend's birthday. Simply a whole weekend with friends out there experiencing nature. It was one of a kind. We set off in the afternoon and arrived at around 7 pm. The reception right from the gate was at its best. Upon checking in, they did not waste time to give us a guide to help us settle; that is, to our tents, setting us a bonfire and leading us to where we had our supper. Talking of supper, they have flavorful meals to die for, especially their platters. We then got ourselves psyched out for the weekend by jamming into some of our playlists and around a bonfire to sway the night aw...

3 Songs I Can't Get out of My Mind

Photo by Elice Moore from Unsplash.com Music is part of life and a kind of a free lifestyle anyone can access. The rhymes and beats ringing in our minds have a special kind of peace, relaxation, and refreshment . These effects of music trigger one to turn on their playlists or radio while cooking, cleaning, or doing other manual work, or while sitting alone in a vehicle traveling, when bored, among others. The thrill and enchantment help boost mood. Alongside that, the music carries important messages as most artists speak their minds in their songs. About 68 percent of adults aged 18-34 years old listen to music every day. I have come up with a list of 3 songs I can't get out of my mind for like a month. These songs are not particularly new but have a special place in my heart. 1. Déjà vu by Naika  Déjà vu  is on top of my list. I heard a clip of this song a few months ago, but I just passed through it. I came across the artist, Naika , and the entire piece recently, and oh...
