This I Believe
I believe the little things in life should not cause
people stress.
As a full-time student it is very easy for me to feel
overwhelmed. Every day I go to work I feel myself
stressing about the details in my life. I never sat
to think about to think about how obsessive I get
over the little things until Sunday. My fiancC)
friend came to town to visit. I was tired that day
and had no interest in cleaning. Around six
ob^@^Yclock his friend calls and says he is coming
over for dinner. As soon as I realized he was coming
I started hyper-ventilating. I looked around with
despair at all of the things that needed to be
picked up before his friend arrived. I quickly
grabbed the broom and 409 and started cleaning.
After about twenty minutes of running around the
house Adam said b^@^\stop!b^@^] I was in my own little
world I had no idea he was talking to me. Adam said
b^@^\stopb^@^] again I was angry with him because I
could not understand why he wasnb^@^Yt as anxious as
me. He explained to that no matter how much I try to
clean and organize his friend would not care if the
office papers were in alphabetical order. After my
fiancC) and I talked I realized how obsessed I had
become. For the first time in my life I took a step
back and just let the mess go.
