How to Tell the Difference Between Intuition and Overthinking?

"Writers know when it’s time to create poetry; they just know it. As the emotions come rushing towards them, taking turns within their soul, with nowhere to settle. Some days, they circle emotions like they’d circle the spoon in their coffee. Writers know that when poetry knocks on their door, they do nothing but sit with their heart centred. They know their poems, that barge in, break through, and dissolve everything into nothingness."

Intuition feels a lot like that. It’s your own voice, but wise. And maybe that’s why it feels like magic. Because it’s not meant to be defined, just felt.

Why do we try so hard to name our feelings? To box them into neat categories? What if we didn’t? What if we just allowed them to move through us — to nudge a part of our body, to stir something within?

I’ve always been drawn to the things we can’t explain — dreams, signs, stars, numbers. They help me uncover parts of myself I didn’t know existed. They quiet the noise of the outside world so I can finally hear my own voice again.

That’s what intuition does. It helps me blur the edges of “reality” and return home to myself.

Every poem, every story I’ve written has come from that quiet place — a place that doesn’t ask for proof, only presence.

And yet, so often we confuse it with overthinking.

But here’s the difference: Intuition is clear. Overthinking is loud.

One feels like peace, the other like pressure. We’ve gotten so used to second-guessing ourselves, especially if we were told growing up that we were too emotional, too sensitive, too much. But your instincts aren’t wrong — they’re just waiting for you to listen.

Trust doesn’t need logic. It needs courage.

We talk so openly about fear, anger, love, but when it comes to intuition — we hesitate. Because it’s not something you can trace to a moment or a reason. You just know. And that knowing? It’s sacred.

So many of us fear trusting others because we don’t trust ourselves deep down. And that’s where the real work begins — rebuilding that bridge to your own knowledge.

Now, I don’t rush. I listen. I allow. I honour that voice inside me that leads like waves guiding a lost boat.

I’m not here to compete. I’m not behind. And neither are you. We’re all walking our own timelines.

I don’t believe “if it’s meant to be, it will be.” I believe we choose. And with choice comes change — hard, beautiful, necessary change.

And please don’t rush, don’t let time play its tricks on you, we are all wounded by time.

We often forget to feel things in the moment, and I don’t want you to forget it. Remember, there's wind within you and you can cause thunderstorms. You can grow and bloom right where you are, you can act on your intuition in this very moment, for this moment is beautiful because you are.
