One For The Overwhelmingly, Overwhelmed.

Overwhelmed, what is it? Why is it? The what is easy, you take on too much. Why is easy as well, you take on too much! Everyone has their own way to deal with is and no way is the wrong way as long as you deal with it.

I get overwhelmed entirely way too much, because I take on too much. Through in the fact that I'm an empathetic, then boost it with some ADHD, and once everything hits all at once, I may as well microwave my head. I have a way better solution for me, I just kinda step away from it.

Now stepping away is not ignoring at all. Fun fact, ignoring things will never make them better, it will make them exponentially worse every second you hang onto them. The worse fact is that if you ignore the things that are weighing on you, You're actually giving up your power to whatever it is.

Me I just escape, disappear, and step out of it for as long as I need to. I may just say nope, jump in the car and go drive someone for no particular reason at all. I may leave my phone in the shop "accidentally." I may get lost in something that isn't a stress bomb. The best part is, a clear head has the ability to do great things. Rather than getting overwhelmed and feeling like you have to deal with it right this second, take a break, get lost, and come back with a clear head. Then you have all the power you need to do whatever you want.

I don't know why this post is actually happening, I'm just relaxing and bam I got an idea. That and it's almost the time of the year I get older and well that's not my favorite time of the year for various reasons. I don't see this year being much different to be honest. I haven't done anything or been around anyone for my birthday in over a decade. It's kinda my time to get lost in a way. Maybe I'll jump in the car and go somewhere, maybe I'll jump on the bike and get lost, maybe I'll just be in my shop wondering why the same thing happens every year, or maybe I'll just be me and make the best of it all.

One thing about being overwhelmed and all the things all at once, you never know who is going through the same thing, so be kind. People that may seem like they have it all together, may be crumbling in their brain, thinking about all the things and what they would do to break the cycle of yearly lostness. New word.

One thing about life is that it is always up to you to live it. Everything may be overwhelming but you can always shine your light if someone needs a guide. In the end, be the you that you want to be, not the you you may feel forced to be, the world needs you to be who you are.....a bright shining star. Now rock it!

-Peace!
