My time in Kenya

I just arrived back in the states after being in Kenya for three weeks, and that was for sure a wild ride. I need to make up for all the blogs I was supposed to do over the trip, so there may be some mild spam happening, apologies! I thought I’d start though,...

A fun project idea I had for myself

What does overthinking even mean?

At what point is overthinking overthinking? Though I know that I tend to overthink sometimes, it’s hard for me to identify when I am. Sometimes it’s super obvious, where I’m stuck on the most minute detail for minutes rather than seconds, dissecting...
