Who are you when you are not worrying?
How is that different from who you are when you are worrying?

Hi there!
This is no longer an active blog. Sorry about that! I've moved my most intriguing questions and answers to my personal blog, shirleytwofeathers. There are some good links here, so feel free to explore, have a great day!

When I am not worrying, I am this happy peaceful expansive person. I feel lighter and the world looks brighter.
When I am worrying (which is most of the time), I am clenched in and closed up, my mouth is tight, my chest feels heavy, I don't even see the what's around me.
Hey.. it's way cooler to not worry. I like me better that way! Now, the trick is to just stop it.
OK, I have another answer to this question. Who am I when I worry and who am I when I don't worry? I am the same person. Inside, I am always the same... it just feels better to be me when I'm not worrying, fretting, angsting, and agonizing.
If it feels better NOT to do all that, then why do I do it? Well, clearly the answer must be that I don't WANT to feel better or I don't DESERVE to feel better or I'm just not done torturing myself over stupid stuff.
And I say "stupid stuff" because very few of the things I have worried about have ever come true, and those few times that they did come true, it wasn't nearly as awful as I had imagined it would be.
"Who are you when you are not worrying?"
When I'm swimming in the ocean and don't have a job to go for the whole summer! When I'm cycling down a not too steep hill with the wind at my back.
When it's a beautiful spring day with the sun on my face and I'm singing a song.
How is that different from who you are when you are worrying?
I am worrying when I want something so bad and all the work that I have put it into it will be lost...when all the little things are piling...I look in the mirror and see the lines of age and worry build up on my face
How is that different from who you are when you are worrying?
When I worry I am old and grey,
When I don't worry I am a child again.
