Rediscovering My Voice: Overthinking, Oversharing, and Finding Balance


It’s been nearly a year since I last penned a post on my blog.

Life got busy, and the words seemed to get lost somewhere between my thoughts and my schedule. But a simple conversation with a friend brought me back to where I belong—here, sharing my thoughts with you.


During that conversation, I was asked why I hadn’t been writing lately. Honestly, I didn’t have a solid answer. I had been scribbling words here and there, but the motivation just wasn’t there. My friend encouraged me to revisit my blog, to see the journey I’d documented so far. And it worked. It reignited a spark I didn’t even realize I had lost.


Going back to my past posts, I saw the depth, the honesty, and the raw emotions I’d put out there. Writing had always been my way of clearing my mind, of transforming overthinking into something tangible. Yet, sometimes, the line between introspection and oversharing can blur.


Overthinking can sometimes lead us to second-guess ourselves, to hold back from sharing our true thoughts. And while sharing can be therapeutic, it’s essential to find a balance—one where we express ourselves without compromising our privacy or comfort.


As I continue this journey, I’m reminded that it’s okay to take breaks, to reflect, and to find the right words at the right time.

I hope my experiences resonate with you and encourage you to find your balance, too.

Still Learning, Still Becoming

Hey Geng... What have you been learning in the quiet moments lately? I’ll go first… It’s been a minute since I sat with my thoughts long enough to turn them into words. Life has been… full. Full of questions, quiet realizations, and unexpected turns. Some beautiful, some hard to name. I’ve been learning  or maybe unlearning  a lot about life, love, worth, silence, and what it means to choose myself without guilt. There are moments I’ve felt like I was unraveling, but maybe it was really just shedding. Peeling off old versions of myself that no longer fit who I’m becoming. This isn’t a dramatic comeback post. It’s just me showing up again. Honest. Soft. Maybe still healing. Definitely still growing. So here I am, back in this little corner of the internet, sharing what I know best  my process. Not perfect, not polished, but real. If you’re here reading this, thank you. I hope you stay a while. 🦋

Na me mess up. Again

I texted twice, maybe thrice… okay, definitely more. 🙄 And yes, I know I’m not supposed to write long paragraphs, but guess who turned into a one-woman novel committee? Yours truly. I’m here to report myself. Why? Because I’ve been aired. Again. But this time? It didn’t sting like the last ones. Maybe because I wasn’t expecting much. Maybe because, deep down, I just needed closure even if it didn’t come wrapped in kindness or clarity. It wasn’t perfect. It wasn’t pretty. But it was… something. And sometimes, that’s enough. Now, I can finally rest. Accept things for what they are, not what I hoped they’d be. Don’t judge me—I’m just a girl, trying to feel, heal, and maybe overshare once in a while.🦋🦋🦋🦋

If you know me personally, you'd know I'm an overthinker, I live in my head hence I get overwhelmed easily and lately I've had so much going on, so much to do and this has made me overwhelmed. Woke up this morning feeling so weak coupled with the fact that I had tension headache all through the night and I had a crazy chest pain so I barely slept. I was contemplating calling in sick at work or manage to go, in between I got a message from a one of my biggest cheerleader, I opened the message and the headline was "6 things mentally strong people do" the first one caught my attention and I didn't even bother to check the other 5 before I ran off to the bathroom to get ready for work. it says "THEY MOVE ON, THEY DONT WASTE TIME FEELING SORRY FOR THEMSELVES" While in the bathroom I was contemplating on this words, Do I really need to feel sorry for what I can't change or handle? instead I should get up move on to things I can accomplish for the day ...
