to overthink is to be prepared and to drive yourself nuts with an overflow of thoughts and feelings. thoughts help you form opinions and gather your ideas. thoughts bring you to conclusions and new ways of thinking. so, every single day, i find myself thinking and finding new perspectives and levels of understanding. ★★★★★★★ a book in which i give my random thoughts, rants, opinions, perspectives, more words that are synonyms of the words i've already said, and other random shiz that somehow manages to sneak itself in. oh, and if you can't tell, i'm a black woman who cares about many "controversial" things. go cry to someone who cares if you have a problem with that. :)
