"Just Thinking..."

Or rather, too much thinking! Sometimes, I over think and over analyse everything. Really stops the fun, I tell 'ya.

{{ "We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. Think. Think. Think. You can never trust the human mind anyway. It's a death trap." ~ Anthony Hopkins }}

Day 64/365.

Warp teleports to the lab where Brain is studying something that looks like dna.

Wrp: "Sir, Batman and his allies have invaded the compound."

Brain: "Where are Phobia and Plasmus?"

Wrp: "Outside. They're waiting for us."

Brain: *Sigh* "The compound is lost. Get Phobia and Plasmus in here."

Wrp: "Yes sir."

Warp teleports away and gets back with Phobia and Plasmus.

Brain: "Phobia, Warp collect the data. Especially the gorilla dna and research. Plasmus, as soon as we're outside, burn it all."

They start to do their tasks, and Plasmus burns the lab down. They head to Strange's office. As they enter, Strange's doesn't seem happy.

HS: "What the hell happened in the lab?! Why is it burning down?"

Brain: "The compound is lost, Hugo. This fight is lost. I want to get the Brotherhood and me safely out of here, while we still can."

HS: "Don't you dare leave me."

Brain: "I'm very sorry, but your plan failed. I have no further intention to be a part of it."

HS: "I will hunt you down."

Brain: "You're welcome to try. Warp, get us out of here."

Warp nodds and he teleports the Brotherhood of Evil away. Hugo throws a mug against the wall as he realises he lost. Hugo starts to pack a suitcase and starts to overthink every escape possibility. As he thinks, his window breaks, and a flashbang is thrown inside, which explodes as Red Hood bursts through the window armed with his shotgun.

(So I tried something different today. I decided to put more pictures in one frame. Tell if it's an improvement, and I'll probably keep dong it!)

Best Impressions have again been brought in to relaunch a First operation and one of the latest is the 28 from Taunton to Minehead with appropriately refurbished vehicles.

Former Glasgow e300 67706 SN60EAJ is one of the earliest recipients of the livery that looks to incorporate the GWR colours with some imagery that evokes the Quantock Hills? Or am I overthinking it?

It is seen in the centre of Taunton on 30th Nov 2019.

Hey there! My name is Megan. This is around the two hundredth and fifty fourth image of a project compiling of three hundred and sixty five images. I was supposed to take a photo a day for a year, but that didn't end up happening and so this is just an ongoing how many images in a row can I take-project. As you can see, I am a photographer. I am also a student at the university level.

If this is the first time you've seen my images- wonderful! I am happy to have you, and I hope you can stay for a while. If not, thanks for coming back- and you can say hi to me anytime. I definitely notice the people who follow me, and I am incredibly grateful that I have a number of you.

Today I shot an image of myself in my living room in the apartment I share with four other girls. I wore makeup, edited out some acne, and used a preset that I paid for. I'm not all knowing. I'm not an expert. But I'm pretty damn good at what I do.

I'm too skinny for my own good, but for the life of me I cannot gain weight. I am incredibly motivated, hard working, and forward thinking. I'm terrified of failing, and I'm a sucker for competition. I'm really, very good at watching television and sleeping- though not simultaneously. I'm clean, I try to be put together- though that doesn't always happen, I'm a mess, and I'm completely scatter brained.

I'm an obsessive, compulsive, overthinking madwoman out on a mission to shoot things. I use my camera as a way to remember parts of my life. I used to think it was to capture beauty, or to make other people happy- but I'm not so sure that's true anymore. Although those things are absolutely perks of the job- they are not the goal. My goal is to make me happy. And completing this project will (at least I predict) make me happy.

and i'll sleep through the rest of my days/if you go away again. . .

Challenged myself to make 30 images in 30 days, to let go of control, to stop overthinking, to stop worrying about outcomes, and to just go ahead and do things and to put them out there. So here goes.

Criei um blog para falar um pouco mais sobre meus ensaios, acesse! livingonthestateofdreaming.blogspot.com.br/

“The greater the artist, the greater the doubt. Perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize."

Usually when I go out to shoot something I prepare myself for it. I overthink about the location, subject, light and almost every other little thing there is. But that was not the case that morning.

I took this shot at the beginning of the year. Possibly this is my first shot from this year. And I was just doing my usual morning stroll but with the camera in my pocket. I learned that lesson. Never leave your camera at home. Anyway, I was not even aware of what time it was and how the light interacted at that moment with the environment. From a near distance, I suddenly saw this golden magic hitting the trees and nature illuminating them and everything else around. Luckily for me, the light was there for a few moments allowing me to look for different types of composition. From a bunch of photos I’ve got this, I like the most.

The photo speaks for itself. The way light brightens the plants on the floor is probably what I like the most. Rays of light hit the tree lifting the atmosphere and mood around.

They say that the best things in life happen unexpectedly. And while writing this that is exactly what I’m thinking about, as someone who is trying to make life more suitable for myself. But that is another story. Let me get back to the photo. As I said, I didn’t plan to do the shooting that morning, yet I was rewarded heavily with the divine scene in front of me. I feel so uplifted looking at it. It’s full of life in some way. It gives me warm feelings. It makes me feel relaxed and peaceful. These moments are special. That is why I love photography so much because you capture the moment that belongs to history now. And I cherish those moments immensely.

Stop overthinking things and just do.

23/365

A friend of mine came over, and I read a short story she wrote. The story was able to give me a concept to shoot, and together, we came up with ways to create this final image. I love bouncing ideas back and forth with other creative people, because I can easily overlook and overthink something. It's great to see how much our ideas can grow when there's another persons brain to pick at.

Mistake done once, isn't the end, its the beginning of making yourself a perfect human. Guilt doesn't fix problems.

Guilt blinds us from the quality to change , grow and improve.

It's time to let go of guilt.

Stuff in my head right now

Honestly have no idea why I'm doing this.

People are gonna hate this I can just tell haha.

Why do I say "haha" because after a full stop? It just sounds deadpan but when it's in all caps with like an exclamation point it looks like the freakin' Jokers speech bubbles, HAHA! see? Weird.

I mean I can leave a ":)" face like I normally do but that's just so I don't come across as kind of dick. Right I know it sounds weird but take this for example...

"Cool fig!"

"Thanks."

See it just comes across as idk...douch-y? Or is it just me?

I've been too caught up with the technical aspects of the craft I've forgotten the most important task,---to capture the "magic" of moment. I resolve not to overthink the process and just be ready for the mini spectacles when they unfold.

Written by my sister:

In 2003, the song that I thought best represented Robin, my Pet Pals Skipper doll, and her friends was Martina McBride’s “This One’s For the Girls.” My favorite line in the song was “hold on to your innocence.” The irony of the situation? I lost my innocence as a doll collector super early! Also, because I had ideas of what my Skipper collection could and should be, as I started obtaining older Skippers, I began shunning the more modern ones--who ironically started the foundation of the collection. Long before the days of internet rants and mass doll-related paranoia, I was one of those people that hated the newest thing, thought it unfavorable compared to the old, and someone that often imposed boycotts. Basically, I invented doll snobbery long before the internet made it fashionable. The earliest example of me saying that things weren’t as good as they used to be is Kelly Club--I didn’t like how they made Kelly look older and, being one that never liked change, decided that Kelly Club was no good. Then there was Krissy--I didn’t like that Kelly was no longer the youngest person in Barbie’s family so I told Shelly we couldn’t buy any Krissy dolls, even Barbies sold with Krissy! I also complained that Super Slide Kelly was “cheap” and “stupid” when I remember secretly wanting one. Every time a new American Girl character came out, I told Shelly there was a family wide boycott!

My sister, on the other hand, back when we were much younger, was always interested in the newest thing and never overanalyzed anything. Secretly, I would wish I could be more like my sister and other kids I knew--to have that sort of innocence, to just see a doll and like/play with her without making it political, to appreciate what you have without debating if it’s good enough. Most kids I knew didn’t overanalyze every doll that came out. If they wanted it they asked for it and if they didn’t, they just didn’t buy it. Was I more sophisticated? Well, in some ways, Shelly was always a lot more mature than most kids her age so she could always keep up with whatever I wanted to do. Also, I always had a big imagination and came up with much more developed play scenarios than most kids I knew my age. However, in the case of over analytical rants and boycotts, I would say I was NOT more sophisticated--I just thought I was.

Sadly, we rub off on other people. Even though I secretly wanted to be more like Shelly, I rubbed off on her more than she rubbed off on me! After a while, the girl who used to be interested in the new thing, started believing in boycotts too.

I’d like to say that we grew out of this when we got back into collecting, but we didn’t. Shelly, being self-conscious about getting back into dolls at the age of nineteen thought she should set certain parameters to define her collection--only Disney dolls, only certain Disney dolls, only so many, etc. I, on the other hand, didn’t realize it but, deep down, I must have felt that I, too needed lines to follow--aka, back to boycotting. So, I invented new rules--only Pleasant Company AG dolls are good (ridiculous as most of our childhood dolls are Mattel), no Monster High, no Liv, no Bratzillaz, no Moxie Girlz. I also reckoned that Barbie and Bratz weren’t as good as they were when we were growing up. Basically, no doll in stores actually met my standards--no anything.

The internet didn’t help--everywhere I looked online, people complained about how the new dolls weren’t as good as the old, how one company made better dolls than the other. In some ways, this made me feel validated in pruning the collection. In other ways, listening to how silly other people sounded made me see how utterly ridiculous I’d been since elementary school!

When I think about the exact moment that started the transformation that made me a happier collector and gave me back the innocence I barely remember having, it was in Big Lots. Shelly had been wanting Monster High dolls for a while but I was still on the boycott wagon. We were searching for Bratz when I noticed a lot of Monster High dolls, including the newer lines like Scaris, were on a pretty sweet sale. That’s when I realized what I had been depriving myself and my sister of since I was about ten--the chance to just hop on and enjoy the ride, be like a little kid and not overthink things. That’s when I said, “You know, these are actually really nice dolls. Would you like to go drive around and see if we can find that Deuce you want so much?”

The transformation didn’t change who I was overnight--but I think it was the first step to being the person I lost before third grade. 2013 and 2014 were very experimental years in our doll collection. After Monster High, we got into Bratzillaz, “tall Bratz,” Moxie Girlz, and Liv dolls. The more types of dolls we tried, the more we adored them. The 2013 Bratz and the Bratzillaz became some of Shelly’s favorites in her collection. Moxie Girlz became the dolls that brought out her passion for adorning dollies with handmade hair accessories. When Nellie O’Malley found us at our flea market in summer 2014, she reawakened our interest in our 18 inch friends. It was the perfect time--when Beforever launched a few months later, we found ourselves two girls completely obsessed in dolls. For the first time since Josefina was introduced to the American Girl catalogue in 1997, I was able to just ENJOY what I was seeing without overthinking, complaining, and inducing boycotts.

This past year has been the BEST for me in terms of our doll collection. I rediscovered my long lost dolly innocence. In previous years, I realized that doll collecting should be about what makes you happy and not about what you don’t like--but, until the last two years, I didn’t fully practice what I preached. This year, I’ve been able to buy dolls that I didn’t want to admit I liked when they first came out. More importantly, I’ve gotten to enjoy looking at what is out now--like when I go to a store, instead of complaining about how I don’t like something, I often say, “Ooooh, I can’t wait for those to go on sale!” I feel more like a kid today than I did when I was, well, a kid!

I’m not saying that you have to buy every doll you see to fully enjoy doll collecting--not at all. I know that not every doll type is right for every person and that not everybody has the money to buy everything when it first comes out (I certainly don’t). I’m just saying that I really enjoyed being able to go out and buy a few of the 2015 Bratz when they first came out instead of overanalyzing them like I was writing a college paper. It’s also nice not over-thinking about whether to keep a doll I wouldn’t usually buy in the store if I found her in a bin. The best part is that I feel like a more productive person and a happier person because I’m not wasting my time complaining.

The main reason my sister wanted to create this account--and her corresponding youtube channel--was because of a website called “Katti’s Dolls” that we used to look at on the computer in Dad’s office. Back then, there weren’t so many websites or pages on websites devoted to doll collecting. We thought it was really cool! What I liked about Katti’s dolls the most was that it was a happy place to share a hobby. When Shelly and I got back into dolls and saw how common it was online, we saw a lot of negative stuff. Shelly thought about her twelve-year-old self and girls (and boys) like her that are online looking at dolls right now. She realized that what a lot of them were looking at was the rants that people were posting. She wanted to be a good “doll role model” and show doll collecting the way she saw it on Katti’s Dolls--a positive thing presented by someone fun yet professional sounding. The reason being--People rub off on each other and I can say that I’d rather have young Shelly’s attitude rub off on other people than have young Colleen’s rub off on other collectors!

My advice to anyone, of any age, reading this is to “hold onto your innocence”--and it is NEVER too late to get it back. You can always rediscover what is most important to you about collecting dolls and why you collect them--I’ve spent the better part of the last six years doing just that. As I said, approaching thirty, I am a more youthful and innocent doll collector than I was at the age of ten!

Sometimes you meet someone that you were meant to, in passing. Not to stay. But ships in the night, in this crazy world we call Second Life. Embrace the conversations you have. Take them for what they are. Delight in them. Don’t overthink it. Cherish it.

That’s what this night was, when Sombre Nyx showed me her sim. The sky was gorgeous and the world was peaceful. She loves her sim. She sings to it, and it sings back. I snapped a quick shot and spent hours relaxing, editing it.

This image shows an unusual perspective Tampa Bay's Skyway bridge. I was standing along a seawall at a rest stop along the causeway that connects the two sides. The bridge appears small, but it's close to 400 feet high.

I’ve been sitting on this photo because I can’t decide whether I like it or not. I overthink things, but it does have some redeeming qualities, so I guess I like it for now.

However, I do love this location on the bay because it's one of the few places on the west coast where you can see the sunrise over a vast body of water. And now as I'm writing this, I'm deciding that I need to get up early and come back. Maybe I can try this shot again and settle once and for all if I like it.

T = ||r|| ||F|| sin θ, where θ is the angle between the force vector and the jaw line vector... I don't know, maybe Jasper overthinks these things. But he's sure effective at catching the ball and making it go squish so I can't fault him his physics.

Oh no, not another landscape with rocks in the foreground! What is it with landscape and foreground rocks, it's a cliche, but *why* is it so? Do they 'anchor' the image? Or are they like appetizers, giving the eye a place to languish for a moment before proceeding on to the main course? Am I overthinking this? :) [larger is better]

Thinking TOO much doesn't help at all.

These days I really can't stop my mind from overthinking.

And when we don't stop,we start to think even paranoid stuff that tempt to make us miserable.

We should all stop thinking for a second and just.. oh I don't know..start DOING.

Do you ever find yourself back in a mindset you once escaped from, that even though it’s changed and you have a full sense of freedom and control, you still find yourself back in a place where you felt real with no escape counting down the days you’re surviving and making it through. I often struggle with this and this can be for many reasons but two really are poignant for this image.

The first being that I am overthinking - I overthink everything and every scenario that runs through my head plays out in 26 different versions all with different endings (it’s also a reason why I create strong characters for my work but that’s getting slightly off topic) I get bogged down in the negatives of the situations, whilst I maintain my positivity to the best of its nature... I do find that I struggle to see the best in most situations - now that’s not to say that the negatives always win and I do put up a great fight but I also find it slightly more intriguing that my mind gets caught up in the wild of the darkness of the world

Secondly it’s strong for me for the reason that this was how I made it through each day for a small section of my life - toxic relationships and being belittled to a shell make it hard for you to keep yourself going as positively as you used to - I went from going by not caring about what might happen in a month to stressing about what could happen in the morning all because of one individual - the sense of containment is so strong sometimes that it just becomes natural to count down the days - whether it be habit or for the new reason of being free and remembering where I came from

I want to say a massive thank you to @rocker_paul.uk for being in this shoot, even if when I’ve asked for feedback on my editing from other photographers - I get told your the spit of me

Maghera, Ardara, County Donegal, Ireland Far away from everything else in this bustling world stands ‘Assaranca Waterfall’. It perfectly crowns the west coast of Donegals’s Wild Atlantic Way drive. In my humble opinion it is by far one of all Irelands most impressive & stunning waterfalls. The true beauty of this waterfall isn't just in itself but all around it on the sandy beaches & valleys nearby.I wish I could tell you all a great story on this waterfall but i'm afraid all I could find during my research was the meaning of its mystical sounding name. Whoever named this famous landmark of Donegal certainly didn’t want to strain their minds overthinking on it as the gaelic word ‘Assaranca’ translates to the english word ‘Waterfall’ 😂 The truth is that something so beautiful doesn't really need a fancy name or even a name at all to be appreciated by all.(NOT MY COMMENTS FOUND THESE ON FLICKR BY GARETH WRAY)

If you've been feeling stressed, overwhelmed, a bit scattered. I understand, the last year has certainly been a full one, with lots to think about and worry about and try to understand.

Today when I was trying to come up with an image idea, this visual kept floating (no pun intended) into my mind. The visual of how easily it can feel like our minds can feel both full and empty at the same time, like they can just float away but also be filled with all our worries and thoughts.

I don't know if you're feeling the stress or the feelings of overthinking, but if you are know that you're not alone in it. Try to reach out and talk to someone, message a friend, message me! We'll get through this together, we'll keep it together.

Chimpanzee.

Through all the failed attempts at trying to belong

I overthink the obvious when I'm alone

But when the lights go up

I don't think I told you

I don't think I told you

That I feel out of place

So pull me underground

Don't know if you notice

Sometimes I close my eyes

And dream I'm somewhere else

Anywhere away from here

Anywhere away from here

Anywhere away from here

Oh, when I close my eyes

Oh, when I close my eyes

I wish I could disappear

~P!nk Rag'n'Bone man

This is how I feel when I overthink things. I feel as if there's a train coming full speed to squash me.

Mate!

It's vaguely amusing that the numbers 20, 200 and 220 are shown upside-down relative to the other numbers on the outer rim (Fahrenheit). The zero is, of course, not upside-down.

Or perhaps I have it upside-down? Maybe all numbers are upside-down except for 0, 20, 200 and 220, which are in the same orientation as the °F.
