The average middle-class boy with dreams and goals yeah that's me, and probably many of you reading this!!!
So am I an overthinker or laid back when it comes to life's ups and downs? I would say I'm a mix of both for someone who works hard to earn a living and school at once, I tend to be very organized and detail~oriented which makes me efficient in my work and daily life. I prioritize tasks, creating schedules in my to-do list of course and stick to them. This is not only limited to work but also extends to my everyday tasks like going to the market to shop around for food stuffs or running errands (even though I get carried away by window shopping), making sure I resist the temptation to eat junk and ensure I hit the gym constantly.
Looking at it differently, I'd consider myself an overthinker when it comes to my goals and aspirations. I mean, who doesn't want to achieve their dreams right? But sometimes, I get so caught up in thinking about the what-if's and maybes' that I forget to enjoy the moment. For example when I'm working on a serious project, I will often spend hours thinking about all the things that could go wrong instead of focusing on the things that are going right. It's like my brain is panicking more than I that owns my body.
On the other hand, when it comes to somethings in my everyday life I would say I'm pretty laid back. I mean, I'm not the type of person to stress too much about the little things (except debit alert of course). Oh for example Like if I'm running late for a date or classes, I'll just shrug it off and enjoy the extra few minutes of me time or if I mistakenly pour tea on my shirt (which happens more often than I would like to admit) I will just move on like it never occurred, it ends up staining my shirt anyways and I end up coming a little bit late for the classes.
But here's the thing, being an overthinker and being laid back can clash. In fact, I think they can complement each other more. When I'm feeling anxious or overwhelmed, I take a step back and breathe to remind myself that everything will work out in the end, I try to keep my cool when my brain goes panic mode And when I'm feeling too laid back, I'd give myself a push to get moving and focus on my goals because rents and bills won't pay themselves.
So to answer the question, I would say I'm a bit of an overthinker, laid back, goal~oriented and a hot mess. honestly for me I think that's okay. You don't have to be just one thing in life, one day you got it all in control the next day you have lost it, it's all part of life nevertheless so be in the present, focus on the future and let the results of your hardwork play itself to you.
