In My Own World

As an overthinker, I complicate simple things. I tend to think things over and over again. What I could've and should've done and what I could and should do. I know overthinkers can relate with how our thoughts are endless. We always think about the what if's. Our minds often wander elsewhere. It's easy to say stop and don't overthink, but that is not as simple and as easy to do. We can stop from thinking about something for a good 0.5 millisecond, but that's it. We'll again overthink about it for the rest of the day. It doesn't matter if it happened 20 years ago, or if it is yet to happen in 20 years. Even though we know that no matter how much we overthink things, we cannot undo the past and we can't be totally prepared for what's going to happen next.  When we overthink about some worst case scenario, and it happened our disappointment will lessen. At the same time, when we overthink things there's a tendency that we won't enjoy the mo...

Last May 10, 2023 I had the opportunity to visit Art In Island. For those of you who don't know its location, it is in Cubao, Quezon City. I've been wanting to visit it when it was still simply a 3D museum, but I wasn't able to go there. Then I learned on social media that it was transformed to The Media Square. Even though they transformed the place, they still retained some of their 3D murals.  Art In Island: The Media Square is a "Mixed Media Museum in the Philippines that brings art, media and technology together." It is the largest mixed media art museum in the Philippines. It showcases a combination of real paintings and digital art.  I was fascinated when I saw the new Art In Island virtual tour. I immediately wanted to visit it.  I went there on a weekday cause I want to avoid the crowd. The museum opens at 11:00 AM from Tuesday to Saturday. I got there a little past 11:00. There was still no line in the ticket booth. By the way, the regular entrance fee i...

Have you ever experienced a friendship "break up?" Have you ever lost bond with someone you thought would be your BFF? Back when I was in college, I had a bestfriend. She was my bestfriend for four years. We were classmates all throughout college. We were inseparable that time. We're the kind of "I won't go if you won't go" friends. We used to laugh at the same things. We had the same favorite color. We shared few common interests. We had the same taste when it comes to food. One of our classmates said that if someone was looking for me they should look for my then bestfriend cause surely I was with her, and vice versa. We were also together during our internship. We lived in the same house for more than 2 months. The bond and closeness were really there. Then came our graduation. Together with our other friends we went job hunting after we graduated. Eventually they landed their own job. I was the only one left jobless. The communication through chat wa...

If there's something you want to change about yourself, what would it be and why? If I could change, I want to be brave. I want to be able to stand up for myself. Being an introvert and shy aren't really the best combination. I want to have the liberty to do the things that I want to do. Because most of the time I don't have the courage to do them. Part of being shy is being afraid to ask people what I want or to be honest with them every time they ask me what I want.  I want to have the courage to face my fears. I'm no longer comfortable with making myself feel small. I want to prove to myself that I am capable of doing the things that I'm most afraid to try.  I want to have the bravery to tell someone if their actions hurt me. I want to be honest with my feelings. I no longer want other people to decide what I want. I want to speak up and be honest if I didn't want something. I want to be bold enough to fight for what I truly want an believe. I don't want ...
