Yet, stolen maybe a bit harsh, as actually it was&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;liked&#8217;&nbsp;<\/strong>by someone I<strong>&nbsp;&#8216;follow&#8217;&nbsp;<\/strong>on&nbsp;<strong>Instagram<\/strong>&nbsp;and popped up my feed. But in full transparency, I had seen it prior in someone else&#8217;s story feed. So, to&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/authenticangela\/\"><strong>angela (@authenticangela) \u2022 Instagram&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a>I give you credit as I did snap it from yours, once I decided to use it.

One could surmise, and rightly so, its reference is pointing to the<strong>&nbsp;&#8216;final&#8217;<\/strong>&nbsp;five months of the year. However, I can also read it as the&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;last,&#8217;<\/strong>&nbsp;as in past, five months thus pushing its inception to February of this year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I know, I know that&#8217;s pushing&nbsp;<strong>boundaries<\/strong>&nbsp;but makes perfectly clear sense if you think about it as the&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;overthinker&#8217;<\/strong>&nbsp;I am, along with millions of others on the planet. Go ahead then and sing your song at us. Better yet, I&#8217;ll post it too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j13oJajXx0M?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=es-MX&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I contend&nbsp;<strong>Carly Simon<\/strong>&#8216;s an overthinker as well. Hell, she did have the foresight to write&nbsp;<strong><em>&#8216;You&#8217;re So Vain&#8217;<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;back in 1971. I&#8217;ll declare it as an early manifestation of&nbsp;<strong>GAD<\/strong>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;Generalized Anxiety Disorder,&#8217;<\/strong>&nbsp;brought to the limelight by her. And so, you know, it&#8217;s not catchy like&nbsp;<strong>covid<\/strong>&nbsp;is, that had everyone hiding indoors and making new friends online rather than hanging out with the old ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For me it all started in February. However, I was so preoccupied, I hadn&#8217;t seen the signs of my medical conditions cropping up. Hadn&#8217;t focused, hadn&#8217;t been thinking about, let alone overthinking about them until it was too late. My overthinking had taken a nap on me, while other emotions took over control.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Back to the quote. If the latter is correct, then history could be altered. Think about it.&nbsp;<strong>Cher<\/strong>&nbsp;didn&#8217;t have a clue to this when she had&nbsp;<strong>Diane Warren<\/strong>&nbsp;write<strong>&nbsp;<em>&#8216;If I could turn back time,&#8217;&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>as she never went back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9n3A_-HRFfc?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=es-MX&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But should I choose to go back in time to this past February and change history? My overthinking self is saying no. Why? Because whether or not I did, I&#8217;d still eventually be subjected to the agony of other events that occurred. Like the defibrillator change out. Maybe the cardiac ablations wouldn&#8217;t have occurred because of the other stressors involved and same holds true with the cardioversion. But I&#8217;m not willing to take that risk. That pain is in the past. Let it alone, my mind&#8217;s telling me. It&#8217;s something I&#8217;d rather not relive anytime soon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But then again, this little tidbit I found on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sunsetfreeway\/\">Madi ARTeaga (@sunsetfreeway)<\/a>&nbsp;makes perfect sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1124\" height=\"1298\" data-attachment-id=\"795\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/2023\/08\/07\/monday-musings\/screenshot-11\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rickollie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-47.jpeg?fit=1124%2C1298&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1124,1298\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Screenshot&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Screenshot&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screenshot\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Screenshot&lt;\/p&gt;\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rickollie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-47.jpeg?fit=887%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rickollie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-47.jpeg?resize=1124%2C1298&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-795\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It&#8217;s true&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;Nothing changes if nothing changes&#8217;&nbsp;<\/strong>but rather than look back, how about we make the change and hold hope for a better future?
