Today's generation is so overly obsessed with every single detail of a relationship. Who are they talking to right now? Are they talking to someone other than me? What if they don't really feel the way they say they feel? These questions reign through people's heads about their relationship. But have we ever sat down and realized that we're overthinking the situation at hand? Why do we think so much before we act upon something? Instead of questioning everything, why don't we stop and think a little less? The more we question everything, the more obsessed we become. And the more obsessed we become the mores stress we add to the relationship. That's the thing nobody realizes. When we overthink, we obsess and when we obsess we push people away because we begin to think the questions in our heads are reality.
We need to love more and think less. You're with someone who makes you smile-- why are you going to keep asking yourself if he's making someone else smile too? You're seeing someone who is romantic and treats you like gold, why wonder if they're just doing it to have sex? Stop questioning what's happening and soak in the moment. Put your phones away. Stop reading their messages when they walk away. Stop obsessing over what could be, and love what's right in front of you. The more you focus on the negative, the more likely it is to become real.
We need to hug longer, kiss more, dance around the kitchen while making dinner, lay in bed an extra 5 minutes. Give those you love the love they deserve. Life throws a million and two curveballs-- you never know what could happen next. So while you still have those you care about, tell them you care about them. While there is a phrase that says "Don't cross oceans for people that wouldn't jump puddles for you" I think the opposite of just that. Cross the ocean, run that extra mile-- yeah, sometimes you don't get anything in return but making someone smile is what's rewarding. Love more and think less.
