The Diary Game [16/08/2026] // Life of an Overthinker
There is something suspicious about nighttime.
During the day, I am perfectly normal.. I eat. I talk. I scroll through my phone. I do whatever I have to do. Life is moving, and I'm moving with it.
Then night comes.
One minute, I'm lying in bed thinking about absolutely nothing.
The next minute, just when I'm about to have a good rest after a long day:
“Am I actually happy with where my life is going?”
Five minutes later: “What if I had made a different decision three years ago?”
Then somehow, my brain digs through its archives and finds something that happened in 2018.
Why?
Why are we discussing something that happened eight years ago at 1:00 a.m.? 😭
And the worst part is that I remember everything.
The exact place. The exact people. The exact words I said. Even the facial expression of the people involved.
My brain could forget where I kept my charger two hours ago, but it will preserve an embarrassing moment from eight years ago in 4K quality.
That's the life of an overthinker: A simple conversation becomes an analysis.
A delayed reply becomes a conspiracy.
A small mistake becomes evidence that you need to rethink your entire personality.
And one random thought can somehow turn into a five-year life plan: “Maybe I should start doing this.”
“Actually, I should probably learn that.”
“What if I move somewhere else?”
“What exactly am I doing with my life?”
At this point, sleep is no longer the goal.
The funny thing is that most of these thoughts seem extremely important at night. Then morning comes, sunlight enters the room, and suddenly you have a whole day ahead of you.
But perhaps that's what happens when everything around us finally becomes quiet.
During the day, there are too many distractions. People are talking. Phones are ringing. Tasks need to be done. There is always something demanding our attention.
At night, when everything goes silent, we finally hear ourselves. And sometimes, what we hear isn't particularly pleasant. We hear the questions we've been avoiding. The dreams we've postponed.
The mistakes we haven't forgiven ourselves for.
The things we wish we had said.
The things we wish we hadn't said.
And the future we are secretly afraid we won't figure out.
Maybe that's why nighttime feels so deep.
Or maybe I'm just an overthinker trying to give my insomnia a philosophical explanation. 😂
Either way, if you're reading this at night while questioning your entire existence...
Please go to sleep.
Tomorrow's problems will still be there.
