Lilly, I’ve always been a long-term thinker. The short term is easy for me, but I need a long-term goal to work towards. Otherwise, I’ll always be looking for the next thing to do when I finish one thing, constantly scared of running out. A goal in the long term is something that can keep driving me, something that can account for all the effort I make now.

And Trolley…

Hahahhahahahahahahahahahahahha

It’s also hard to worry if you’re looking at the stars, trees, and flowers through the haze of alcohol. Speaking of which, I need a drink.

I came pretty close to death twice, in both cases I was willing ready and able to go. Dying’s easy, it’s living that’s sometime difficult.

I don’t think that you should bother with “rest of your life” I think that when I was in high school I did think of being adult as one huge chunk of time in which no choices are made and life just drift toward their end slowly and the same. Now that I am an adult, I realize that the more grow and evolve the more rich and complex and challenging and interesting life becomes, they change, all the time. Planning for the rest of your life’s futile - nothing last that long, you will change a million times in that course of time, and so your will will change a million times as well.

We keep looking for some ultimate answer to the “what do I want?” question cause making choices and being aware is so difficult, but it’s what makes us human, it what able us to go own growing and becoming more and more of ourselves as we can.

How about instead of trying to find out what you want to do with the rest of your life, try finding out what you want to do next week? It’s a much more complex question suince unlike the rest of your life - this have practical implications.

Thank you.

I think you’re right, ME. Every day I’m realizing more and more the importance of time as a source of experience and wisdom. Everything seems to fix itself if I wait long enough. This means that I’m also realizing how impatient I’ve been, in my relationships, my search for answers, and my goals (which may be why I’ve lost/achieved them so quickly).

Sometimes, you just need to take a step back, breathe, and enjoy the cliché, simple things.

Thank God, the older you get the more you realize that worry does chase things away. I delegate natural born worriers to do most of my worrying for me. So I can save mine for quality worrying time. The meds help too I think.:)

Life gets more liveable when you’ve faced more days and as long as you can say *No one is going to die and we’re still going to eat tomorrow* there’s not much worth losing sleep over.

It’s hard to worry if you’re looking at the stars, trees, and flowers.

I hope your worries go find someone else to bother for a while.
