And my main man Brian reiterated something that I hadn’t heard in a while. If you can’t control it, then don’t worry about it. During a period where I was binging on books by the Dalai Lama and other Buddhist authors, the Dalai Lama said something along the lines of:
If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it’s not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.
(I grabbed that from his website.)
I really believe in that and I think that it’s helped me cope with difficult situations in the past. So heed his sage advice and DON’T WORRY.
P.S. I got 82% on my test. Decent. Though I think that I should’ve done better. That teacher sucks at writing tests.

You gave me this speech a while ago, I forgot what I was stressing out about. OH YEAH MY LAPTOP! And guess what, stressing out worked. I made it obey me. Take that.

I believe that what The Dalai Lama said is true, even though it’s really hard to do that all of the time. It takes a lot of breathing and self-control lol.
