Let Go of Overthinking: Finding Peace in Life's Simplicity
The pain in life often lies in overthinking and taking things too seriously. Some things are simply unnecessary, yet we worry about them or try to dig too deeply into their meaning. In the end, we are the only ones left feeling uncomfortable.

I'm having trouble sleeping and saying I love you That's not because the pillows are too soft or the heat is on, or the mattress is sinking in on your side / Not because I always sleep better with piano playing between my ears or my throat gets dry too often / Not because I can feel my heartbeat like temptation and no, breathing exercises don’t slow it down / Not because you don’t say it or show it or make me feel it / Not because the sun is creeping up behind our heads or the cold on my ribs is keeping me alive / I’m not sure I can tell you what you want to hear / I’m not sure I can hold you with my eyes and kiss you with my hands / I’m not sure I can overcome myself to find you next to it / My body / My body / My body / Hold me / still-ly / So I may drift into the rest / Of us / Where I don’t love you the way I want to / But the way you need to be loved / still-ly
