Rethinking

I'm sure everyone has done it. You're all set to go down one path and then maybe, just maybe, something doesn't strike you as perfect. Your plan doesn't seem so idlic anymore. There's something the matter with it, a little lingering doubt that can't be banished. The What Ifs come rushing in and suddenly everything is shaken.

This happens to me more often than not, ranging from thinking over what to have for dinner to the career choice I might have picked. This short term anxiety always passes with time (or thanks so some mind-numbing busy work), but still. The fact it exists can't be ignored. There must be a reason for me to rethink everything, more or less. What the reason is, I haven't the slightest idea. Self preservation? My subconscious trying to alert me to something?

Whatever it is, I just wish it would shut up and let me make my mistakes in peace.
