Breathe. Just....breathe.
One of my oft-stated reassurances to people in my life I care about is that "whatever it is, whatever the problems or conflicts or difficulties, we'll talk about it and figure it out and work it out", because we just will. It's so easy to just freak out and put all of one's energy into the "what-if" game of fear and panic and being so much inside of one's head, not checking in with the other person, but once it's out in the open, most of that dissipates. So now, I'm saying this to myself. About myself. I'm the one who's making it scary and anxious, not the circumstances in and of itself. Have a little faith in me, as Mandy Moore says (using the words of John Hiatt).
I mean, four and a half years ago, I gave notice at a crappy retail job when I had no job lined up, very little cash in the bank, and lots of credit card debt. And I survived without too many problems. This time around I have better financial standing, more options, experience, prospects, and most importantly, a vision of what I want and how to get it. What's that other saying of mine? Oh yeah.
Why stop now?
