The Worst That Could Happen Happens In Your Head
You can’t sleep, you can’t remember but you have already read the book from end to the other 500 times. A complete 3456789 hours have gone into revising and re-revising the revision. Books and paper blanket your bedroom floor like autumn leaves.
You can’t sleep, the clocks ticking gets louder with each swing. You go over the events that might transpire repeatedly focusing on the worst, the test will be hard, the interviewer won’t like me, I will forget the lines, or better yet I will forget to wear my pants.
Tomorrow arrives but finds you already awake because sleep has not shared a bed with you for weeks. The day is here, and like a child going to school for the first day, you hesitantly get ready.
Fast forward to the end you find yourself alive, it didn’t hurt as much. No, matter in fact it happened so fast you may go again.
The above is normal. It is a result of the fear we have. One caveat to this is that a lot of sleep was lost.
Most of our fears are always worse than the actual thing. No seriously. The real world cannot throw at you something worse than you can imagine. I am saying this because people thought of Zombies and monsters that eat you if you make a sound.
A day spent worrying about an event that takes less than 30 minutes. Sounds crazy but that is what most of us do. Spend an infinity on a vapor of a moment. The interview whether good or bad you find out passes faster than an anime episode.
So remind yourself, as I do. The worst that can happen happens in your head. Most times.
