The stress of the problem you don’t have

You’ve been around that person who is always worried about the big thing about to happen. The tragedy that is always lurking around the corner.

The energy wasted and the life stunted by worrying about the problem that has not yet occurred.

Who cares whom you think will win “on paper” when there is still the game to play?

I understand it’s not that easy and usually, the fear of the problem-to-be is irrational, but it feels good to write this note to myself as well.
