Why do people second guess things? Not things like choosing one cereal over the other, or what to wear to work. I am talking the deeper stuff. The tricky stuff. Why do people feel the need to say what they think or feel... Tell it to the world and really shout it from a mountain....and then, as soon as the guts show ones mouth is zippered tight. Your face goes red and a numbness takes over. How is it that after ones experiences in life that they may have shared with another or learned from themselves they second guess a simple hello or a difficult goodbye? What is it in our souls, in the pits of our stomachs or the back of our minds that causes us to second guess.
It's a thought process and can be a stressful one at that. It can become a tiring mind game or a frustrating external battle. For one who always is in support of living in the moment or never knowing what is ahead and simply going for it, it only seems to be best in one moment. Ya know really go to say it all...put it all on the line. Only to be followed by a wondrous "should I, did I, would I".
Life is tricky and a mind can catch a heart off a beat. What one thinks may be best could easily be taken the wrong way by a unsteady heart. But to ones surprise a heart might not always be right and thinking with your head may just be what's best. So when there is no text back or there is an awkward silence, have the heart tell the head that it actually can be ok. It actually will work out. The heart doesn't always know best, but it sure does a good job making you second guess.
