Have a tendency to overthink,
to worry about things not in my control.
Things can go right and left,
lives can be turned upside down,
in one instance.
One reckless move at the highway,
one silly mistake to take the dodgy shortcut at midnight,
one naive moment to trust another human being.
Then thinking about the "what if" scenarios a million times,
over and over.

Have a tendency for details,
the nitty gritty, the tiny things no one cares about.
Things that won't matter in a year's time,
all will be the same,
in the long term.
Then the over-thinker meets the detail oriented,
and asks,
But what if?
