Overthinking

𝗜𝗻𝗸𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟮 Prompt: Chef Mental Health Association: Overthinking

It's not enough for some of us to just leave well enough alone. Nope. Our minds are wired too intensely for a concoction as simple as that. So we lay down at night, and stare at the ceiling, reeling over a conversation or a situation, adding our mix of salt and pepper, new words and feelings, new pretense and endings. Masters of the art, we knead and mould, so our stories can be re-told even if in our own heads, when the lights are gone, and it's been so long since it happened in the first place. But oh, if only you had a taste of my new and improved recipe, sorry, 'version' of the story, the one that borders on a line between over-dramatic and just right, over-cooked, after being left to marinate overnight. I could leave well enough alone, alright, but tonight we're whipping up an 'over-thinking' delight.
