Anxiety

Everything changes. That is part of life and sometimes that is exciting.

But sometimes it is just painful.

The unknown is exactly that, unknown, so I need a plan for dealing with it.

How do I make a plan for something I have no knowledge of?

The truth is that I do have more knowledge than I think. I will still be me and I will still deal with most things the way I always have.

It would be nice if I understood exactly what that was/is, but I tend to muddle through things on a trial and error basis and even though that has pretty much worked for me in the past, it has not always been an easy or direct road.

I'm not looking forward to the silence, the sadness, the anxiety that often accompanies me down these ways.

The carrot will be the fact that I have always come out on the other side better than when I started.

But what if it's different this time?
