Life Lesson #51: Do not over think

i think it's usual for people to over think sometimes. but if something becomes too much, like how everything that is too much becomes bad, overthinking everytime can be very detrimental to one's health and one's life.

and not just to the life of the person who is overthinking but also to the life of other people around them. i totally understand it how one can over think; i over think too, only a little i hope. but i see to it that i am sane enough to know when i am already overthinking and stop doing it because as i said it is bad for the heart and the mind (of course). and sometimes, some people need to be slapped with the harsh reality that they over think too much (redundancy) and that it's really becoming too much to handle for their own sake and for the other people who love them and would like to carry their burden as well.

there are also times when people think their problems are too much. when actually, they have problems because they over think their problems which should not really be problems in the first place. and the cycle goes on, and we begin to wonder which happened first, and which is the reason for which.

honestly, it's distressing to deal with such thing. distressing enough to make me write. and think of another entry to write after this. so yay?

i just pray that everyone and every life around me would be better. so all i would have to worry is finishing my medical school studies. i never liked over thinking.

*my next blog entry is a special entry because it is 1. written in Filipino (mainly) and 2. it is not a life lesson mainly. and 3. it contradicts what i said in this life lesson which is not to overthink :p and i would like to put a disclaimer as early as now that the things i wrote in that entry are purely theoretical or based on observations on failed or let's be positive about it, striving marriages. that i have to get out of my system so i wouldn't obsess too much about it.

The Preparation.

How do you put 100 days of preparation, 4 days of examination and 3 days of waiting in one blog entry? You can’t. Haha. So I’m making this a 3 part entry. That very long hiatus from writing and this heart full of emotions had led me craving to write my heart out. So indulge me. I don’t think I would be able to encapsulate all the emotions in that one of a kind journey which led me to where I am today. But I would still try because having that experience is something that I would love to look back to (definitely not do again) but something that I would like to read about when I feel like strolling down my memory lane. It started the day after the review center (Topnotch medical board prep) orientation where we were welcomed with a wake-up call, the board examination is about three months away - 106 days to be exact. Will it be enough? Probably. And then came the diagnostic exams where in there was really the doubt of whether it will be enough.  Parang hindi . But it was...

Life Thoughts - Life and Thoughts.

And just like that, we are married! The past few months have been heart-very-light-kind-of-nice. <3 It feels actually weird to have someone with you 24/7 at home (and not the hospital). And nope, I'm not complaining.  As usual, I've been wanting to write but not finding any inspiration until today.  I've been reflecting, more of day dreaming, while reviewing for the board exam and I just want to write down some, well, thoughts.  I grew up in an environment where there are things that should never be talked about, just because you don't want to make things worse. And it did not make things worse, but it did not make them better as well. I learned that words can make or break someone. And that if you do not have anything nice to say, it was better to shut up. And because if you say mean things, no matter how true, these may hurt people. However, this mindset did not shield me from getting hurt. This was also why I hated confrontations. Because I only thought that confr...
