Overthinking not a curse.

 Overthinking__ excessive thinking about something, which people say generally leads to stress, anxiety and what not but the question is 'does it always'?

This term has a negative connotation, it's always associated with flaws but why? 

In my opinion it's not a flaw, it encourages the mind to pursue truth, and truth is it a negative thing?  It raises curiosity, it leads to questions, it dissects, it helps to find connection between things and most importantly it helps to deconstruct and reconstruct. It dwells in complexity challenging your mind. So where's the flaw? 

It refuses your mind to limit your thoughts and to agree with surface-level understanding. The greatest breakthroughs—scientific, artistic, and philosophical—were born not from quick conclusions but from relentless questioning. It anticipates, it foresees, it calculates so there's always a very less risk as your every step is thoroughly calculated. 

Even in emotions, overthinking is form of deep sensitivity. It allows one to feel more, to empathize more, to understand more it transforms your relationship into something very deep and meaningful.  

The fact that a word sounds critical and negative, doesn't mean it is totally a curse. No it's not overthinking is a very powerful tool when used efficiently and in the right direction. Better decision making, problem solving, better understanding of things and people comes from this. It encourages your mind to think deep, real and from every aspect so how in the world is it a curse? In my opinion not thinking deep, strategically and inhibiting your mind to just a surface-level of understanding is a bigger curse. 


Overthinking is a power and it's in your hand to utilize it to construct and not to destroy.

I Hope When Death Finds Me, It Finds Me Alive

There’s a line I once read that stitched itself into my bones — “I hope when death finds me, it finds me alive.” Not just breathing. Alive. You see, there’s a difference. Breathing is biology. But being alive — that’s a choice. We spend so much of our lives in limbo. Existing in routines, swallowed by screens, numbed by comfort zones. We convince ourselves we’re living, but often we’re just drifting. Afraid to risk, to feel too deeply, to love too wildly, to fail too grandly. We choose “safe.” And safe is rarely alive. I want to die with stories in my lungs. With laugh lines etched into my cheeks. With blisters from the roads I dared to walk, and scars from the love I dared to give. I want to say I danced in the kitchen at midnight, cried in the rain unapologetically, spoke my truth even when my voice trembled, and forgave even when it hurt. Let death find me with dirt on my hands from planting something real — a dream, a friendship, a legacy. Let it find me mid-sentence, mid-song, mid...

How to Cure Anxiety: A Human Conversation, Not a Quick Fix

 Let’s begin with honesty: There is no magic switch. Anxiety doesn’t vanish overnight. But it can be understood. It can be softened. And, slowly, it can be healed. Anxiety is not just “overthinking” or “being dramatic.” It’s the racing heart at 3 AM. The tightness in your chest before sending a message. The feeling that something is wrong, even when everything seems fine. So, how do you cure anxiety? You start by not trying to “cure” it — but by listening to it. Anxiety is often a messenger, not a monster. It shows up when parts of you feel unsafe, unheard, or overwhelmed. It’s your nervous system saying, “Please slow down. Please be gentle with me.” 1. Come Back to the Body Anxiety lives in the mind, but it speaks through the body. So healing begins by grounding yourself physically: Breathe deeply, slowly — in for 4, hold for 4, out for 6. Touch something real — a cold glass, your bedsheet, your own hand. Move — go for a walk, stretch, shake, dance. Let the energy move through y...
