You were a kid

and you had a ball, but no-one to kick it or throw it to. 

So you’d find a wall, yours, often someone elses’s, you threw or kicked that ball and it came right back.

Not always as you’d expect, on angles you wouldn’t have considered possible, but your ball always came back, and the only insight and learning that came back with it was yours.

The ‘big black chair’ you sit in now as a person, a parent or a professional is a lonely and isolating place at times and just like that kid, sometimes you need to bounce off someone, someone who can be judgement and opinion free.

Overthunk: is a wall for you to throw your ball against.
