I am such a worry-wart. Worry consumes me from day to day. If my mother doesn't answer the phone the first time I call her, I immediately think something is wrong with her. If Ryan is driving and doesn't text me back, I immediately think something has happened. It's pretty damn ridiculous, and I am truly exhausted from it. I worry so much about my future that it makes me sick to my stomach. I know I am only 23, but in my heart, I feel like every decision I make from today on, may affect the rest of my life. I truly don't know if that is irrational or completely rational. I just don't know. Even that thought makes me crazy. Some days I just wish I could turn off my phone and re-center myself, because my life feels like it's spiraling out of control most days. Then I am reminded to take a deep breath...by my awesome mom & awesome mentor.

And a few words that make me feel much better about it all:

"So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
