There's not always a bigger picture

I read into things way too much.

When there's something to be read into and I can grasp it, the outcome is usually rewarding and there's that feeling of brilliance. It's the feeling that you're in tune with the subtle insight that wasn't meant for everyone. Like you solved some puzzle.

Then again, when you spend all your time trying to peel apart subtle layers of something that doesn't have subtle layers, you usually end up missing the point entirely and ruining that something, and at that point it can never be pieced back together to the state it originally was.
