Might be a bill you can’t pay, might be a job interview, might be your career falling apart, whatever. But the best thing you can do in this situation is just to think about it as much as possible; don’t do anything about it, just make sure you keep worrying because that always makes problems go away. Look at all those people around you; whatever you’re worrying about must be a million times worse than anything they can imagine. They’ve DEFINITELY never had to face a personal crisis. I’m sure, they’ve never felt lonely, been sued, lost family members, spouses, children; they’ve probably never been fired or been in love with someone who didn’t love them back or panicked about their career or anything most humans go through in a lifetime. Because whatever you’re worried about is definitely the biggest thing that’s ever happened to anyone ever. No one has ever been to war so they wouldn’t understand what you’re going through. They haven’t approached Omaha Beach and known they’re probably going to be dead in a few minutes. No one has ever been trapped in a damaged spacecraft thousands of miles from the Earth, running out of oxygen. No one has had to face constant bombing from the air that turned up without warning. Somehow, whatever it is recently you’ve got on your mind that justifies you losing sleep and being a total dick to yourself. Well, you know best. Luckily, humans live forever and never age. So don’t worry. You’ve got infinite time to hold yourself back with doubts. And actually, it’s worse than that. You know, if the bad thing does happen or you don’t get the job or you embarrass yourself somehow; we’re all going to be laughing at you, ALL SEVEN BILLION OF US. We don’t have our own lives or relationships or children or careers, we’re just waiting to see you fuck up. The ENTIRE PLANET is going to turn up at your house and write ‘LOL’ on your door and piss. That’s what’s going to happen. And even after you’re dead, we’re going to erect a shrine on your grave that says, this person made a mistake. And we’ll visit it every day with flowers, but not the nice ones, like petrol station roses that we found in a bin. And don’t even think about taking any creative risks. That project you’re working on: the book or the movie or the video or whatever; if you screw up any of it we’re going to laugh at you because we’re certainly not busy worrying about our own lives. Homer, Beethoven, Tolstoy, Hitchcock, Tarantino: none of them ever worried about their careers. Just keep sabotaging yourself, so you don’t have to ever fear doing something original. That’s the safe path. Same with doing what you love, actually. No one’s ever taken a risk before. You’re the first one to do it EVER and I’m sure the Universe cares if you screw up or take a risk. It definitely isn’t busy regulating the speed of light or you know, keeping the galaxies from fucking colliding. In fact, the entirety of Creation was just designed to watch you FAIL personally. That’s what we’re all doing here. That’s what gets us up in the morning, ‘YOU FAILING.’ Maybe just spend the rest of you life fixated on worrying, instead of ever doing anything ever again. Instead of, say, becoming the best possible version of yourself, and being kind to people, and taking wild and bold risks that scare you and will probably pay off some of the time and leaving a lasting legacy for your great-grandchildren. So they can say that one of their ancestors in the early 21st century was undeniably a bad-motherfucker and did something brilliant or was just a half decent human being who decided that the point to being alive was to party as much as possible before the lights go out and just to be nice to other humans; probably better just to keep your HEAD DOWN, don’t rock the boat! Can’t risk embarrassing yourself; but none of that really matters, does it? Because you’re worried about that thing, aren’t you? Might be a bill you can’t pay, might be a job interview, might be your career falling apart, whatever; but the best thing you can do in this situation is just to think about it as much as possible. Don’t do anything about it, just make sure you keep worrying. Because no one has ever been in a bad situation before ever and I’m sure whatever it is, is very important and WON’T EVER GO AWAY. Just like all the other things you used to worry about before… ..and now you can’t even remember. exurb1a
