Sometimes memories are better when you look back.
Thats how the saying goes.
I disagree. In the moment, when you're really in the moment, the happiness washing over you and joy radiating, you can forget everything. For a moment you forget your fears, your problems, your self doubts.
But looking back you can pick at and question every action and decision you made. Every step taken and word spoken. You can live inside your mind forever asking the unanswerable question 'What if?'
What if I never said that? What if did things better?
But what if I could control my swirling thoughts? What if i could ground myself and find some peace with my actions? What if everything happens for a reason and my doubting is only causing me more pain? Those moments you think about so much, those mistakes you made, might only be a fleeting thought in someone else's mind. An action without need of further acknowledgment.
So what if I just let it be?

This isn't really a poem, but it's a thought from my brain, so I wrote it down like this is my own personal journal, not something online for the world to see. But who's even reading these, maybe it is just me?
Do you often overthink situations? Dwell of the past with an overactive imagination?
