The Overthinking Hooper 

Not to be confused with a normal basketball player…..The Overthinking Hooper is a male that dedicates the majority of his time to the sport of basketball. He does this in an effort to fill the void once filled by something or someone that is no longer there. He is lonesome and spends countless hours dedicated to the one thing in his life that’s never left, the sport of basketball. As he hoops, his mind can wander and enter a state of decompression or, if he chooses, enter a state of aggression which can be articulated in his play style. The life is somber and he often ponders why his life has formed the way it has. It’s almost as if the sport has transformed into a gateway or sanctuary to avoid one’s fears, shortcomings, or mistakes. There is validation and self acceptance when he cooks an opponent on a step back three, or blocks a shot out of bounds. And as the overthinking hooper progresses in the sport, which includes increasing athleticism, shooting ability, and ball control, he slowly builds confidence and learns to love himself again despite his mistakes or failures. Basketball occupies his time and fixates his mind on the task at hand. Getting buckets. So, next time you see that guy shooting around or doing dribbling drills all alone in the gym, remember…..he just might be walking the path of The Overthinking Hooper. Notable pro overthinking hoopers include Kawhi, Kyrie, or Russell Westbrook.
“Man….every time I’m at the gym that guy is always in there shooting alone working on his game.”
“Yeah he’s going thought it I bet….bro is The Overthinking Hooper.”

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)

church hurt 

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.
