You are taking voice over and your overthinking is killing you from the inside.

We have to accept that life can’t go according to our plans. We face moments when we see unexpected turns in our careers, academics, and relationships. But it doesn’t mean that we have to lose because it would be the winner of the devil’s advocate. We shouldn’t listen to these voices that force us to break our dreams and goals. Instead of this, we need to use them as manuals, which would be helpful in following our dreams.
