Someone once asked...

“How do I stop worrying about the future?”

✦

Someone answered with kindness...

A student once asked me to teach him how to stop thinking about tomorrow. I told him I couldn't — I still think about tomorrow too. What changed, for me, was noticing that worry pretends to be preparation, but rarely does any actual planning. It just replays the same fear on a loop, dressed up as responsibility. You don't need to silence the future entirely. Ask yourself: is this thought helping me decide something, or just repeating itself? If it's just repeating, you're allowed to set it down, even without an answer.

Et tu, Brute?

Another soul answered...

Decide what you want for your future and take baby steps to get there. The future becomes less scary when you can depend on yourself.

Another soul answered...

Looking at the present, I hate the way I’m turning out. I couldn’t look past the boundaries I had set for myself. So, rather than looking forward, I looked at who I am now and wanted to become a better version of myself.
