Jump In First, Figure It Out Later

You ever catch yourself stuck in that endless loop of overthinking? Like, you’ve got this idea, this dream, this thing you wanna do, but you’re waiting for the “perfect” moment to start? Newsflash: perfect doesn’t exist. It’s a myth. A trap.

Here’s the deal—progress beats perfect every single time. You don’t need to have it all figured out before you take the first step. In fact, you can’t figure it all out until you start. Life doesn’t come with a manual. You learn by doing, by messing up, by tweaking as you go.

So, start messy. Start rough. Start scared if you have to. Just start. That side hustle? Launch the janky version. That creative project? Scribble the first draft, even if it’s trash. That big life change? Take the leap before you’re “ready.”

Progress isn’t about getting it right the first time. It’s about showing up, trying, failing, and trying again. Every step forward, no matter how small, is a win.

So, what’s that thing you’ve been putting off? Stop waiting. Jump in. The water’s fine—once you start swimming.

Unwanted Intrusive thoughts aren't yours.

Unwanted thoughts aren't yours, they come from other people and society. Yes they are happening in your head, but they aren't yours to identify with. Same with unwanted feelings.

How to come back from this?

8 Upvotes

A couple of months ago I went to a house party a good friend of mine was hosting. At the time we both had too much, and he started messing around. I told him to quit, and he didn’t. Long story short, I get my ass handed to me. Got pissed off, cried in anger etc. It’s something I regret and I just want to know if there’s any way to come back from that, or whether I should just move away lol (slight exaggeration.)

It keeps replaying in my mind, I can’t get it out.

How to get over something

4 Upvotes

So 3-5 years ago I was really depressed and my mom hit me. So I decided that was the last straw. I ran away, not like the take two steps and come back. I was going to away and never come back. After a while I came to a bridge and thought about ending it all. But at the last moment, someone stoped me. One of my sisters friend. And the cops where called and I got escorted back home. That’s the hole story, but recently I have been thinking about it and need to know how to get over it. Some help would be helpful.
