this is my favorite piece so far because it truly speaks to my soul.
i always look for signs that everything is going to be okay in the future. i look at numbers, searching for angel numbers; i look at bible verses, listening to a word from God. it was until i realized i don’t need to go through the hassle of searching and finding signs just to stop worrying about how the future would go. it’s an acceptance you must have in yourself that the future could or could not unfold in your ways— and that’s okay. reading this proved it more and i greatly love this! 🤍
I have a friend who is a cardiologist and we had a similar conversation recently. Some people have to live their days and let them go. Why can’t we control freaks do the same?
I’m a former anxiety disorder sufferer. It took me a lot of mental gymnastics to understand just that what you wrote - life will slap you in face and you’ll still get up regardless - and I need to review this lesson regularly not to fall in the trap I can control things if I think enough
sometimes (actually practically all the time) i can’t talk to anyone about ANYTHING because i find myself being disappointed in their answer. not bc it’s not what i wanted or it’s not the right amount of attention i was expecting but because of the confirmation that i may actually be alone in how i feel, how scared i am that things won’t go to plan. like what do you mean you aren’t driving yourself insane about NEXT YEAR?
I’m glad I found this piece because I can relate so much to constantly thinking about the future and worrying. My anxiety has been able to control me for too long and these words really helped 💛
I was fortunate that my military service taught me about planning and control. First, it is all chaos. There is nothing you can control but react to what is in front of you. Yes, you can have a plan, and mostly it works, but you also need to be flexible and able to adjust, knowing that is a real possibility. Also, all you can control is that three-foot circle around you. Thats it. That is your universe, put it bluntly. A group of fighters has a saying, "The only easy day was yesterday." That is so true. Nothing is promised, and nothing is written in stone.

Thank you so much❤️ I’m truly happy it resonated with you! It’s a habit we’re all guilty of, we just need to hear it sometimes
