Critical Thoughts

Useless Thinking

By AzeemPublished 9 months ago 1 min read

In my free time during office hours, my thoughts stuck in a loop

What if I had taken that other job?

What if I said the wrong thing at the meeting?

What if I just disappear, and no one notices?

my brain kept spinning scenarios, rewriting scenes from the past, forecasting disasters from a future that hadn't happened.

"Useless & Critical thinking ahead"

None of it changed anything. I just filled the air between heartbeats with static.

Some thoughts are just noise.

And letting them go can be the most useful thing of all.

The End.
