A Letter of Advice

Dear You/Me,

I feel the need to write you/me (okay I'm not very good at this 3rd person thing) a letter of advice because I see you/me heading down that slippery slope of sleepless nights and heavy thoughts.

There is no need to create things to worry about by analyzing every little detail of your life over and over again until everything is a confusing mess. You don't need to constantly be going over all the old stuff just because there is currently no crazy, mind blowing catastrophe going on in your life. It's okay. Sometimes life is uneventful and it's totally cool.

Also, there is no need to try to predict every little thing that is going to happen in the future. Whatever happens next will catch you off guard anyways and you will be just as unprepared. When are you going to realize that you are not in control? Just let go...you never know you might be pleasantly surprised.

I think you have too much time on your hands and need to get out of the house. Maybe finding a job would be a good idea. Why can't you just figure out what you want to do? Even third graders know what they want to do. You need to get off your behind and find a job or at least a project soon before the long and dreary winter comes. The last thing we need is the winter blues.

Good luck.

Sincerely,
You/Me...better known as The Crazy Lady

P.S. I've been reading your blog and I see a common theme....you have control issues and a problem with over analyzing things. Fix it. You'll be happy...happier.

  4. Delightful post. It's true that we probably know ourselves better than anyone else. Too bad that doesn't always help us to solve our problems.

    And hey, it's sometimes a difficult thing to know what one wants to be when one grows up. Maybe volunteering at a local charity would fill some of your time and help to give you some ideas.

  10. Dear You/Me...better known as The Crazy Lady:

    I love how you tell Laura (and me, and pretty much everyone else with these issues!) to "Fix It" but do not give her advice as to HOW. Do you not think that if she knew how, she would have by now? A little empathy, eh? Tough love works, but throw us a bone, yeah?

    Love and kisses,
    Sassy B

  11. "Whatever happens next will catch you off guard anyways and you will be just as unprepared."

    Isn't that the truth. Really like your journal format.
