The Curse

 Many might not understand what it is like to live with constant overthinking in the heads. It feels like a curse- to be able to read between the lines, hear between the tones, see between the scenes and being unable to do anything to make things better. 

Is it a curse to see to clearly what most miss?
Is it a curse to be able to feel what others are feeling?
Is it a curse to want to keep everyone happy?

What all this does to a person is make them constantly keep worrying, being anxious about almost everything from the minutest detail to the big deals. Everything scares them as all they are now programmed to do is to see how everything could go wrong, fall apart, be held responsible for and failing in everyone's eyes.

They are the living embodiment of what J K Rowling cautions us about in the below words:

It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not live at all. In which case, you've failed by default.

They simply fail by default - may be not right now in front of everyone else - but inside, in their own heart, mind and soul - they are long dead by fear that life is a now just some form of a survival. They might occasionally try the 'I too can live happily and fulfilled' trope and wear off way too soon to even feel like a moment- even there, they get stuck in the details.

These are people who either die everyday or are just walking dead. No frog can bring them back to life. Even if a crazy frog does try, they'll suck life out of it at every chance the get, unknowingly. Gratitude and apologies to such frogs.

Sadly,
The Overthinker
