"Don't worry about the things you can't control." - Me I've found myself telling friends this whenever they're stressed out and usually it makes them feel a little better. I don't know why I don't follow my own advice. I have no control over the way people think or act, then why do I let people's actions get to me so much. Why do I overthink situations, to the point of making me sad or even sick (the great ulcer of '97). Maybe I just care about a few people way more than I should.
This post reminds me of one of my favorite poems:
ReplyDeletelet it go - the
smashed word broken
open vow or
the oath cracked length
wise - let it go it
was sworn to
go
let them go - the
truthful liars and
the false fair friends
and the boths and
neithers - you must let them go they
were born
to go
let all go - the
big small middling
tall bigger really
the biggest and all
things - let all go
dear
so comes love
~ e. e. cummings ~
