A Less Formal Life

some delightful certainties of my life

I had a comforting revelation that makes me never worry that my life will be full and exciting if I want it to be, and without effort: I make fast friends, and bizarre and sometimes life-altering experiences (or at worst, experiences that change the way I look at the world) just seem to find me every single time I go out into the world. Last night solidified my faith in that statement as truth, and it made me less concerned about what I don't have and less worried that things won't "work out" for me. Because, they already are working out for me. I'm leading a pretty thrilling and happy life, full of funny incidents and overwhelmingly stranger-than-fiction coincidences. I can truly count on this.

In general, I need to do better at not trying to control how the tapestry of my ideal life is supposed to look.
