I have to find a happy medium between stagnation and being stressed tf out. I always seem to be on one side of the spectrum… never in the middle.
I LOVE FOOD!
Went to YardHouse down at Atlantic Station today to lunch with a friend! It was Happy Hour between 3pm and 6pm so appetizers were 50% off so we decided to get 4 and share them. I think sharing apps is a good way to try new things without committing to a whole entree. These were all pretty good! Could have skipped on the tenders…

Don’t have a whole lot to say today. I worked a double at work and I have a terrible headache. So I leave you tonight with a cool little groove from one of my favorite groups. Night.
Have you ever considered the things that scare you? And I don’t mean being scared of spiders, or horror movies, or cheese with a lot of little holes(I have a friend)…
Uncertainty. That’s what scares me. I wouldn’t consider myself a crazy control freak but I like to know that things in my life are going in a certain direction (that I have already happened to plan for.) For instance, if I take a vacation…I like to know everything about where I am going, where I am staying, what I am going to do. That’s not to say that I can’t do things on a whim, I love a little spontaneity here and there, but I suppose with certainty brings security…and I like being secure.
Dilemma: So the problem that arises with being scared of uncertainty is…NOTHING in life is certain. You can plan plan plan all you want but that doesn’t mean that things won’t go awry. That vacation I was talking about… it could rain or the reviews about the hotel could be false or you could have left the bag with all of your shoes at home (true story.) Prime Example: The degree program that I was planning on completing (SINCE I ENTERED COLLEGE) got cancelled this semester due to low enrollment and I won’t be grandfathered in. And while this made me a little sad/angry it was a manageable problem. My credits will transfer to a business degree and I can still minor in French if I want. My problem is…what happens when a life jolting event comes along, that I haven’t planned for and it throws off all the control I have over my life? Like not finding a job after college. Or I getting laid off one day…Loved ones passing away, relationships/friendships not working, personal illness, the list goes on and on.
Solution? I don’t think there is an actual solution for curing the problem of being scared of uncertainty. I surely don’t let this fear hold me back from trying to live my life to the fullest. It’s just every now and then, I get a little anxiety about things that I don’t know of and can’t control. I guess, you just gotta take things day by day, and trust that God ultimately has your best interests in mind (or wherever God holds interests.)
