overthinking

I don’t like making decisions because I’m not good at it, I always think too much, does everyone think as much as I do, I want to make the right decision the good decision the best decision, but there are always so many choices or even if there’s only two choices there are always so many pros and cons to each and I sway back and forth between them like a kid on a swing; no matter, just trust your gut, they say, don’t think about it so much, don’t use your head, lead with your heart, listen to your gut, what is your gut saying, but I think my gut is shy like me and doesn’t speak out very often even when it wants to, and I would consider myself an excellent listener, I got to have the golden ear statue on my desk three times in kindergarten, but it’s so quiet, and I still don’t know what to do, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know--
