Don't Worry, Be Happy

We’re told not to worry. That everything in life will eventually fall into place, and there’s nothing to be concerned about. I’m calling bullshit on that. We have several reasons to worry. Life is scary. The world is scary. What if everything doesn’t work out? No, life doesn’t end if things don’t go as planned. But it does suck. A lot of people have this picture of what their life is going to be like someday, and that makes them happy. But there’s such a big chance of it not turning out that way, people shouldn’t get hung up on that image. I’m one to talk, though. That’s what I think about most of the time; my future; where I’m going to be in ten years. Five years, even. I don’t really focus on the “here and now” as much as I should. I just find the future so exciting. But I do plan things out way too much. I think of the specifics, and if it doesn’t happen that way, I’ll probably be really disappointed and that’s not a good thing. We have to just let things happen. If life doesn’t turn out as planned, that’s okay. I do believe that everything happens for a reason. We were meant to be in the place we are for a reason, and the things to come and exactly what’s supposed to happen.
