One
phrase I use with people that is similar to
You are taking yourself too seriously is
it ain't that deep.
People say that I take myself and things too seriously, too much to heart. That I ruin things by trying to make too much sense of them.
One friend told me that I often run at 80 MPH and look at the flowers by the side of the road and that because I see a smear of color, I think I am understanding the flowers better.
I think he knows more about me than I would like to admit .
