Diversity, dialogue and multiculturalism in America

Oh soul,
you worry too much.
You have seen your own strength.
You have seen your own beauty.
You have seen your golden wings.
Of anything less,
why do you worry
?

- Rumi

I hope that I can let go.

    Me too. Me too.

    The silly thing is that worrying makes no logical sense. If you worry about something and it doesn’t happen, then you worried for nothing. If you worry about something and it does happen, then your worrying didn’t help anything.

    And yet… worrying is such a big part of the human condition that logic doesn’t factor into the equation. At least not easily. But I keep trying.

    Letting go is one of the hardest things of all.

  3. Rachael says:

    I struggle with it to, and I’m not sure I’ll ever be able.

  4. Becca says:

    Me too! I hold on to everything, and I worry about how the decisions I make will effect everyone I know.

  5. Miss Britt says:

    I wish this for you, too.

    Does that sound condescending or patronizing or superior or something? Because I don’t mean it to. But, yes, I hope for you to learn this.

  6. Allyson says:

    Don’t tell me worrying never did me any good! Half the things I worry about have never happened! That’s cause and effect, right?

    I need to ink this on my body! Hahaha! Or simply just carve it into my mind. Your not alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    But hey…it’s not worrying it’s called be cautious and not letting life screw you over! So really we WORRIERS are WARRIORS! AWESOMENESS all around :)

    So just because you write 2,000 words in your last post, you can write a six-word one for this one? I hope you can stop slacking.

    I don’t think I’m ever going to learn to let go. I hope you do. And then you can write about how you did it.
    I worry so much about everything, all the time. Night time can be the worst. The worry, the fear… it’s so much worse as a parent. It’s constant. I remember when I was pregnant, I thought once I made it to 12 weeks I’d have nothing left to worry about. That was just the beginning.
