Let a Good Thing Be Great

Let a Good Thing Be Great..

September 23, 2020

Here’s another nugget about myself, I’m an overthinker and an over communicator - I’m sure you can relate. I always tell one of my friends that our mind is a dangerous thing. We can create scenarios that don’t even exist but somehow become our existing reality. We create narratives for things people said, what we think they’d say, and what we should’ve said. I’m often not satisfied until I know that you know what I’m trying to say and that you understand it in every way. Because I hate communication errors, even though I create some of the ones I have. More recently, I’ve been putting a lot of thought into where I stand, trying to make sure it’s clear to everyone around me. But then it hit me one day, that I can show you better than I can tell you. Sometimes my words seem so cliche, I’m not sure if I’m quoting something or if this is just the way I honestly feel. But then I looked around to see where I was standing, right there in the moment.  I’m learning to just let good things be great. Or even letting bad things be, sometimes you can’t do something about everything. Not analyzing so much of the impression I’m having upon someone. If someone or something makes you happy, makes you feel good, that’s great! Or if a situation is honestly just frustrating, sometimes it’s just that. We always question ourselves about what we’re feeling instead of just letting it be. There’s a few people in my life that need definite descriptions, titles, or labels, but unfortunately, I don’t have those to give. Because I can’t make it anything more than what it already is. I can’t stretch myself in ways that I’m not ready to extend. I’d rather address things as they are instead of constantly anticipating what could be or how to make something better. I’ll always do my part, but I’ll no longer fill in the blanks for others. 

With Love, AW
