Stop Overthinking. Free the Fish.

This post is for me, but also for all of you who tend to overthink things. Even now, not even two sentences in, and I find my mind wandering off, evaluating if this is really how I want to begin this post. But nope. I’m done with that. I’ve let it get in the way of things I want to do for far too long.

See, I want a blog. I have so many ideas swimming around in my head, and they all want out. I mean it’s completely crammed in there. Like sardines. Little swimming sardine ideas. That’s no way to run a brain. An aquarium? Sure. But not a brain.

So here I am to share my fishy little brain with you, in all its overthinking weirdness. AND, I want to be a good example, because I want your little fishes to get out, too. I know for a fact that I am not the only one who over-analyzes things into oblivion. I’m not the only one that will come up with a solid idea and then think about it so much, trying to make it just right, that eventually my inner critic will talk myself right out of it.

So I’m back. I’m here, I’m gonna share. And I want you to share, too. Give yourself permission. Don’t do it for the ‘gram. Don’t do it for ‘tok or the ‘book or the ‘ter (that’s how that goes, right?). Do it for yourself. Get your thoughts and your ideas and all your lovely, brilliant, psycho weirdness out on paper or text or what have you, and set them free!

I hereby grant myself permission to share imperfect artwork, tutorials, insights, etc. I do NOT give myself permission to chicken out. This isn’t about chicken anyway. It’s about fishes. And the fishes need our help.
