I am beginning to think the friend who told me that I should try everything at least once was not offering great advice. I tried something new the other night and it was not beneficial to me or my soul in any way (at least this is my present perspective). The sleepless nights while agonizing over the situation were not welcome. Why do I worry about things so much? Is it really just a part of my nature inherited from my Mother or is it a conscious choice that I have unwittingly made to take my actions and life too seriously. Can one take their own life too seriously? I would hesitate to think otherwise but at the same time the amount of stress that is inherent with taking life to seriously, not to mention the chance of missing something that actually is interesting or beneficial, is huge.
