think brighter

i just realised it's been a while since my last 'thought of the day' post... though i really need them, like the air that i breathe...! because, as you might know (and i am not proud to say it...), i worry quite a lot. yes, i'm an actual worrier. but what does a young(ish...) woman who's healthy, has got a cool job, best boyfriend ever, amazing family and friends to worry about, you ask?

well, for starts, i worry about my future in general. and about not living in the presence enough. i worry about the love i found and am so happy about - but am afraid to lose. about the friends in my life, and wether i am an equally good friend in return. about my current or possible future home and where i am going to live one day. about the money i should be saving (for years to come) - but somehow never manage to succeed (is it me or are temptations just too big in our world?). about the many wishes i have, and that i shouldn't be wanting all this because really, who really needs all those things at all? about the kind of person i've become - and the person i once want to be. i worry if i'm doing a great job at being me. i worry if people like me. i worry about the fridge i haven't cleaned in a few weeks. and about the to do list i haven't seen to, that's constantly growing as of lately... and that's just the start, you guys!

sighs. do i bring you down? i hope not...! but on the other side be asured that it's also in times like this that i turn to my positive mantras (or to the phone - my mom is the best problem-solver...) for help. and here's my new mantra: worry less - and think brighter instead. because isn't life just too short to worry a lot? today, at least, i'll just put all worrying behind me and will go prepare a comforting dinner now. and tomorrow... we'll see!
