tragedy



"mentally preparing" for a possible tragedy or misfortune in the future is toxic. when you imagine it happening and feel the emotions, you make yourself live through the hell, not matter how unlikely it is to happen. you can handle it. you can always handle it. it's never too much. it's always okay.

plus...all that wasted time and energy living in the future instead of appreciating the here and now. after all, now is the only promise we truly posess.

kinda like thinking about making a difficult left turn before you get to the intersection.

very very true kid D. and very very true phil. i will go miles out of my way to avoid difficult left turns. don't know if that is a waste or being productive to avoid the anxiety...

It's never as hard as it seems once you get to it.

until you have a line of cars behind you honking...
but then it turns yellow and the oncoming cars slow down and you can turn left.

god i love green turn arrows.
