Life happens

Stop Analyzing and Start Living

There is so much more to this world than to sit on your hands waiting for a miracle to plunge onto you. You have come this far in your life merely because you deserve to be happy. Every single struggle that you have been through was all to prepare you for this moment right now. The moment for you to slow dow and enjoy the now.

Analyzing our lives, nonetheless, is good stuff. A person has to be tough, like yourself, to develop that magnificent skill. However, too much analyzing is emotionally overwhelming. It will block your view. It is not our fault. It is true that sometimes life holds us in the way. It is also true that when life is happening to us, it makes our heart crawls to our throat.

Once you stop analyzing and start living, you will feel as light as the air you breathe. The turbulence in your life will vanish and your heart beat will decelerate and you will finally catch up with yourself.

Take courage to let go and you are already an expect at it. If you can’t scream on top of your lungs, turn on your radio to Celine Dion I’m Alive and move to the rhythm, take a long walk or touch someone who needs to be touched. Help someone see beyond their own world and you will never be the same.

It is not your job to change everyone around you. It is your job to stop analyzing and start living.

Keep On Moving!

I was Class of 2018 at the College of Staten Island, where I majored in Childhood Education with a minor in Psychology. Aspiring to find a new way of living, I joined community theaters, where I entrusted my activities as an actor for the stage. I have appeared in A Midsummer Night's Dream (2021), as well as in the off-Broadway shows The Twelve Angry Men (2021) and The Tyrannicides (2021). I am interested in history, gender equality, poverty, and race.

    1. 🤗👈🏾 great!!! I love this! I am happy that the blog spoke to you! I’m so happy Miriam. Thank you ver much! Do you mean Celine Dion I’m Alive? I love it! I listen to it everyday. I love putting it in my car when I am on the highway; I put one of my hands out from the window, put the song on loud speaker and drive. I always put the song on repeat so that I can feel the pulse of the song and to have the feeling of leaving earth to go onto another planet. You can find it on YouTube. 😊🙈👈🏾

  2. Love this. In this “busy” world, it’s important to remember to live our lives too and not let “stuff” take all of our time. We need to control our time and not let time control us. 🙂​ I loved watching Collateral Beuty with Will Smith. It reminds me of living our lives. Great movie.

    ps: (I’m still going to do the blogger recognition award. On my to-do list. 😉

    1. Thank youuuuuuuu! 🙈 Exactly! Ipuna, life is busy in itself. Why put a burden on ourselves by worrying analyzing our lives 24/7, every day of the week. Is it a show or a video, it sounds interesting. I would like to watch it. Greattttt! (Do take your time with the blogger recognition, and I love how it is in your to-do list. 😊).

  3. I suppose ‘overthinking’ is one of the glitches we have in our genes as human beings, hahaha. We worry too much about anything that we loss touch of the things that truly matter.
    A very well-written post Oristel! Love this one!

    1. Exactly Andrei! You highlighted a great point, “we worry too much about anything that we loss touch of the things that truly matter.” It is true. We don’t realize that we are doing it, because we focus so much on fixing an issue or whatever that is standing in the way. Great point Andrei! 😊 Thank youuuuuuuu!

      5. Hi Oristel, you are like a little Angel – thank you. I am procrastinating over the other 36 pages I need to customise with a slow internet connection and an old Mac – I prefer writing. But I know the effort do be worth it and I have big plans about this site. It will start off small but grow big.
