Any overthinkers out there? Does the landscape of your mind looks like nothing but rabbit holes for as far as the eye can see? I am always processing something and it always ends up going down a rabbit hole.

Huh… why is it called that? Why is it that metaphor of going down the rabbit hole? The ‘Googles’ just told me, it refers to becoming deeply engrossed in a complex, confusing, or bizarre topic, which may cause you to lose track of time because you are researching or exploring it. The phrase originates from Lewis Carroll’s 1865 novel, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, where Alice follows the White Rabbit down a hole into a bizarre and illogical world. Curious…

I’ve been on a healing journey since 2018. (Sorry to those just starting out…it’s a continuous, but a worth it process.) I have tools now where something may make me angry. Instead of getting angry, I now do this thing of stopping to assess if the situation is unjust or if I have an old past story that I’m looking through that needs some curiosity brought in. The majority of the time it’s the later.

I thought I’d create this space to just jot down the ahha moments when I process and unravel a curious trigger. I’d really like to capture the rabbits so they don’t dig anymore holes in my mind. My poor brain feels like an old Macintosh computer doing it’s last compute and all I see is processing… processing… (PS – I’m a girl nerd.)
